lyrics
I fell asleep on your floor
Staring at the remnants of your war
Your body not moving no more
And I cannot believe you slept with your bed by the door
Always ready to go
The children gather round your treasure bed
Bidding on the things that dressed your head
A firesale a terrible spread
And I can’t bear to stare at all those relics of the dead
When I awoke I was alone and I was scared
But I was ready to go
Step out into your sunny spring backyard
The blossoms are all bursting into stars
Those trees for which you cared and worked so hard
And I cannot believe how all their leaves were bathed in gold
And I was ready to go
Staring at the remnants of your war
Your body not moving no more
And I cannot believe you slept with your bed by the door
Always ready to go
The children gather round your treasure bed
Bidding on the things that dressed your head
A firesale a terrible spread
And I can’t bear to stare at all those relics of the dead
When I awoke I was alone and I was scared
But I was ready to go
Step out into your sunny spring backyard
The blossoms are all bursting into stars
Those trees for which you cared and worked so hard
And I cannot believe how all their leaves were bathed in gold
And I was ready to go
