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.
