1
The children settle down so safe and sound, and when the mourning comes again I'm here to hold your head. But I can see you feather the nest with a dusty hope, you swoon and moan, there's water in your bones.
2
So you can keep a dresser full of sympathy, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. It's sad to see you cry when we're so near.
3
Such happy pilgrims now, so safe and sound, and when the winter comes again I'm here to hold your head. But I can see we feather the nest with rust and soap, we coo and groan, there's magnets in our bones.
4
So you can keep a dresser full of baby teeth, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. But take away the weight of where we've been and there'd be nothing left for us to talk about.
