Elvis Costello Lyrics

"I Want To Stand Forever" lyrics


This used to seem so important
Then again what is there left to say?
I came up with a dream once
And if I had my way
I would never answer when they tried to wake me up
From my beautiful reverie
It might be a dream, but it's my dream
A fantastic disastrous affair

I want to stand forever
'Til the mountains crumble into the sea
And that's not as unlikely as it used to be
'Til the waters rise and we're swept away
And that could happen almost any day

Yes, I want to stand forever
From now 'til the thirteenth of never
You can throw me in the hellish river
Of my eternally hopeful endeavour
Yes, I want to stand forever
