Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone lyrics

rate me

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song I'll do my best now but you've been gone now for so long The window's open now and the winter settles in We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin I love your depression and I love your double chin I love most everything you bring to this offering Oh I know that I've left you in places of despair Oh I know that I love you so please throw down your hair At night I dream without you And hope I don't wake up Cause waking up without you Is like drinking from an empty cup Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone We can get a house and some boxes on the lawn We can make babies and accidental songs I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool I hope we didn't break it but I'm glad we broke the rules My cave is deep now yet your light is shining through I cover my eyes, still all I see is you Oh I know I've left you in places of despair Oh I know that I love you so please throw down your hair At night I dream without you And hope that I don't wake up Cause waking up without you Is like drinking from an empty cup
