Verse 1

The children settle down so safe and sound, and when the mourning comes again I'm here

to hold your head.

But I can see you feather the nest with a dusty hope, you swoon and moan, there's water

in your

bones, so you can keep

a dresser full of sympathy, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. It's sad to see

you cry when we're so near.

Verse 2

Such happy pilgrims now, so safe and sound, and when the winter comes again I'm here to

hold your head.

But I can see we feather the nest with rust and soap, we coo and groan, there's magnets

in our

bones. so you can keep

a dresser full of baby teeth, you're haunted by a better ghost than me.

But take away the weight of where we've been and there'd be nothing left for us to talk about.
