The Animals Were Gone |
| 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 |
