Staying & Leaving As Living & Dying Lyrics
You were a thief,
But I'd only notice when you'd leave,
You were the one who stole the air for my lungs.
The trees grew angry,
And the sky agreed,
So they commissioned the wind to blow you away with the leaves.
So where are you now?
In a pile someplace, waiting to be taken?
Or still in you bed, waiting to be awaken?
If the sun is kind enough to you,
She'll find you a new place to rest.
Yes, she'll shine her beams on all those terrible things,
And they will scatter, yeah,
Watch 'em run and hide!
So where are you now?
In your new home away from the cold?
A home so high in the clouds,
No one knows, no,
Not a soul knows where you go.
Baby, don't leave.
Oh no, Just stay with me.
Baby, come back.
Lay your bones with me.
But I'd only notice when you'd leave,
You were the one who stole the air for my lungs.
The trees grew angry,
And the sky agreed,
So they commissioned the wind to blow you away with the leaves.
In a pile someplace, waiting to be taken?
Or still in you bed, waiting to be awaken?
She'll find you a new place to rest.
Yes, she'll shine her beams on all those terrible things,
And they will scatter, yeah,
Watch 'em run and hide!
In your new home away from the cold?
A home so high in the clouds,
No one knows, no,
Not a soul knows where you go.
Oh no, Just stay with me.
Baby, come back.
Lay your bones with me.
