lyrics

Well, meet me in the tangled cove,
Where the fish swim through the trees;
I can’t hear your footsteps in the silt,
But I’ll smell you on the breeze,
If you want a taste of Heaven,
We can walk around the lake,
‘Cause I’ve seen the comets streaming past—
I know that’s all it takes
To break the bonds that chain us here,
And watch it all come down.

Oh, I have packed a loaf of bread
And thirteen envelopes.
We can mark them all with what we loved
And fill them up with ghosts,
And when the Sun is setting,
We can tie them to the light;
Once the Moon has had its due,
We’ll feed them to the night,
And when released, won’t they find peace?
And finally let us be.

But if they come for us,
We’ll hide beneath the lake;
But I won’t come back up
Until they’ve gone away.

Yeah, when the thinning corpses
Of our past come through the cove—
I just hope you’re in this for a swim,
‘Cause there’s just one way to go.
And once we’re in the open
And surrounded by the sky,
And we both consider drownin’
‘Fore we reach the other side;
Well, can we find the drive in their fiery eyes?
In their shining hoots and howls?

But if they swim across,
We’ll run into the woods;
But I won’t stop for rest
Unless they’re gone for good.

Oh, meet me in the tangled cove,
Where the roots broke through the shore.
I have heard you cryin’ in the night,
But I don’t get your scent no more,
No more.
‘Cause we broke those bonds
That chained us here,
And watch it all come down.
