My Morning Jacket

In a dream I saw you walkin'
Like a kid alive and talking
That was you
In the classroom you were teachin'
On the streets you were policing
That was you
To the one I now know most
I will tell them of your ghost
Like a thing that never, ever was
And all that ever mattered
Will some day turn back to batter
Like a joke
Behind thin walls you hid your feelings
