Lyrics In My House - And Also the Trees

In My House

In my house there’s a light for our sins
There’s a light that flickers like
Only you can see
There’s a man that watches me
There’s a girl that likes to comb her hair
There’s a man that watches me
Dark ribbons in her hair
In my house a light that shines
It’s brilliant up there father
Keep on right to the door there’s a sign
In my house
In a draw in a shelf by the wall
There’s shells and there’s grasses
They watch my house
And the living me says I can’t go
Push you to the waters edge to save
Pretty little man with his head full of shame
Where the wood shines brightly
And the river sails
In my house
I can see where the river flows
It’s like a shrine it’s like a morgue
It’s a peace where the old men go
