Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
And so life continues
F Em D
As matter does not disappear and
You are not the issue
F Em D
In this, the universal sphere, so
Turn off the light
F Em
Let night embrace and take you in
F Em F
Sleep within it's wisdom and
[Chorus]
C
Dreams are not lost
G D
They merely fall beneath the ashes
F C
Of what is left to the soul
G D
From where it starts to where it catches
[Verse 2]
And you must remember me
F Em D
A plea from one who must be kept like
Some vacant thought
F Em D
We fear to find, we can't forget and
You have become
F Em
The instant you believe you have
F Em F
The memories, our aftermath
[Chorus]

And this is our time until it passes
[Bridge] (spoken)
You sleep deeper than I do
And I keep thinking about you
Eyes tired and the night is impatient
It takes me under and I change the station
D F
Though they may fade into the everyday dreams
[Chorus]

Dreams are not lost

They merely fall beneath the ashes

What is left to the soul

From where it starts to where it catches

And this is our time until it passes

Turn off the light

Let night embrace and take you in

Sleep within it's wisdom and
