Lyrics Belle & Sebastian – Sweet Dew Lee

I want to lend you my ear and diligently be on hand
And hear the dreams of the woman
The dreams of the girl as the sun rises high overland

Sweet Dew Lee, I see you endlessly

Wednesday, the tea got cold
And I’m marching up the frozen hill
But the boys must fight to prove a point
With the city lights all spread below
If you could see me now, you would laugh
And you’d shake your head and say «How sad»
I didn’t think after twenty years
I’d be right back in the self same places

Sweet Dew Lee, I’ll miss you endlessly
And it can’t be undone, all the ways that I’ve run
In another dimension or through an uncharted haze
There were no bitter words, nor the parting of ways

Reconcile yourself to knowing that
Glamour fades as time moves on
I once held you in a bold caress
But now my nose is pressed against the glass
Fate is destined and we threw apart
Now I’m cleaning up at your latest party

Sweet Dew Lee, I see you endlessly
In my waking dream as I walk down the street
In another dimension (another dimension)
Oh, in a parallel world (parallel world)
Oh, I was your man (I was your man)

I could change the name
Oh, it would still be the same
Oh, I could change your name
I’m Yul, you’re Phaedra
Oh, I could change the name
Oh, it would still be the same
I just send you my love (send you my love)
From a parallel world
