[00:01.77]
[00:06.08] Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head
[00:13.37] And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall
[00:18.19] Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes
[00:21.87] Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you
[00:26.11] Oh does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched
[00:30.35] And does he cry through broken sentences that I love you far too much
[00:34.60]
[00:35.70] Does he lay awake listening to your breath
[00:38.82] Worried you smoke too many cigarettes
[00:43.31] Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor
[00:47.74] For every speck of tile there's a thousand more
[00:51.98] You won ever see
[00:53.91] But you must hold inside yourself eternally
[00:59.16] Well I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death
[01:13.01] In every city memories would whisper Here is where you rest
[01:17.26] I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees
[01:21.76] And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine
[01:25.74] You are my sunshine my only sunshine
[01:31.36] You are my sunshine my only sunshine
[01:39.78] And I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her
[02:01.63] She had eyes bright enough to burn me They reminded me of yours
[02:05.26]
[02:05.91] And In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge sun-bruised field
[02:09.63] And there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed
[02:14.07] And it rose like thunder clapped under our hands
[02:18.39] And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry end
[02:27.74]
[02:29.31] Where I wrote
[02:31.44] You make me happy
[02:33.37] Oh when skies are gray
[02:36.48] You make me happy oh when skies are gray and gray and gray
[02:46.98] Well the clock heart it hangs inside its open chest
[02:52.16] With its hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
[02:57.04] But I will not weep for those dying days
[03:00.71] For all the ones who've left there's a few that stayed
[03:05.20] And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid
