Chicago Lyrics by ​​alt-J

The Dream [Digital Deluxe]

2022

[Verse 1]
More together than alone
From the hill, we saw it rain on the town over
Torch to your chin lights your cheekbones
In that moment, I saw a likeness to our father

[Refrain]
In American Night, on that hill
In the night

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Pulled back to the night before
When the TV lit our brilliant, smiling faces
Torch hits your face before the fall
Panic in the eye is similar to breaking horses

[Interlude]
(An apparition lifts me up!)

[Verse 3]
An apparition lifts me up
From its shoulders, I sit and see your face above the tree line
Your reassurances, subtitled in American English
I am calm as we sail down the hillside

[Outro]
In American Night, on that hill
In the night
