Fifth track on the 'Sunburned' album, released September 24th, 2015 on Horses Records
lyrics
Wanderer, you're making noise
when you drink your rain with a violent force.
I was in trouble too,
I knew we were both blue,
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
Conjuror, you still laugh
while you're singing the notes that make me sad.
With lips a demon red,
I knew we were both dead,
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
Life in a nest,
for you, was not best.
You don't believe in bad luck.
We've got to calm down, go back to work,
we've got to carve our names into the dirt,
we've got to live with hurt.
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
I can feel you, I can feel you hiding near here.
A skinny man may still eat,
instead we jittered around deserted streets.
I was in trouble too,
but I knew you were most blue,
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
A shiny hook might float past,
you might get caught up and start feeling bad.
But mixed up kind of love
might be the lone kind,
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
Life in a nest,
for you, was not best.
You don't believe in bad luck,
and that's just your luck.
We've got to calm down, go back to work,
we've got to carve our names into the dirt,
we've got to live with hurt.
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.
I can feel you, I can feel you hiding near here.
Somewhere, there is a switch
in the darkened room that we live.
We reach out in the void.
In the city that I dreamed you did appear.

Just as bad ass as the first Fountain Album... Super solid buildups and soundscapes.. Another great one for experimenting with artwork etc. 9/10 Ky Ren/Aid An
Dreamlike songs from this London artist with gentle vocal melodies gliding through cloudy layers of guitar and synth. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2022
The composer shares all new music for the first time in almost 20 years, offering the clearest thesis of his vision yet—that the future is out there for us, and we can capture it in a song. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 13, 2023
Truly oddball pop from Sharif Ali combines smooth synths, groovy electric piano, and Karoke-style crooning into a strangely catchy whole. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2020
