Lyrics

[00:17.17] when your clothes they all shrink
[00:21.48] and your forehead's pressed to the cool of the sink
[00:25.58] do you find yourself suddenly there
[00:30.07] in the woods with your yellow bear? oh
[00:42.49] and if we step through the nursery door
[00:46.77] and if the snow falls like before
[00:52.01] in flakes as big as your hand
[00:55.65] do we even care where it will end? no
[01:08.56] when the past proves tough to resist
[01:13.36] you'll keep a loose grip on my wrist, won't you?
[01:20.90] yeah if the ghosts and the living can't coexist
[01:25.84] you'll keep a loose grip on my wrist, won't you?
[01:39.24] fractures in plaster, oh
[01:43.87] fractures in plaster, oh
[01:47.87] Queen Elizabeth, what would you ask her?
[02:03.52] in 1922 if the puzzled boy in the books was you,
[02:12.06] where would your comfort be?
[02:15.90] up the sturdy trunk of a chestnut tree?
[02:28.54] well there's no such haven here
[02:33.21] but no one will notice if we disappear
[02:37.41] to the window at the top of the stairs
[02:41.26] with a view to the woods
[02:43.31] and the clearing of forgetful airs
[02:53.73] when the past proves tough to resist
[02:58.37] you'll keep a loose grip on my wrist, won't you?
[03:06.16] and if the ghosts and the living can't coexist
[03:10.81] you'll keep a loose grip on my wrist, won't you?
[03:24.12] fractures in plaster, oh
[03:28.20] fractures in plaster, oh
[03:32.16] Queen Elizabeth, what would you ask her?
[03:45.06] fractures in plaster, oh
[03:48.95] fractures in plaster, oh
[03:53.03] Queen Elizabeth, what would you ask her?
