When the birds are sleeping That's when the trees sing You left your winter clothes, And your teeth marks in my skin
So shake the leaves, off the trees, Watch them float down the stream Your son, your daughter Swimming in the water
And I miss you, even when you're around I'm a black cloud, Sending lightning to the ground
So darling please, show your teeth Just one more dance to help me sleep Whirl, cold water eyes Fill the past with friendly nights Human skin, can be hard to live in You'll feel better in the morning Wash your hands in the lake You've got a heart, some way
Trails lost in the snow Make way for winter's eerie glow And that black rock in your bedroom I hope you'll climb it soon In your boat, tied to a tree I hope you'll find the sea
Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep For such a long time, such a long time Sing myself awake Watch the branches break No one could ever take your place
Wash your face in the lake You've got a diamond under your skin
