Andrew Bird - Spirograph
.
Echoes down water wells
Picked up in sacred spirographs
Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby
.
They buried him next to his first wife
His widow watched from under a visor
Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was
Blazing
Oh, oh
.
Then the sun went down
And she went to sleep
She lays her burden down
She don't need to sleep
.
When they were done they went back home
To a house he built with opposable thumbs when
They were so much younger
Oh, oh
.
Five years later she died in the house
All the breath that blows all the dust around
It just keeps on sifting
Oh, oh
.
Then the sun went down
And she went to sleep
She lays her burden down
She don't need to sleep
Oh no
.
Echoes down water wells
Picked up in sacred spirographs
Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby
.
