Staying And Leaving As Living And Dying

You’re a thief, but I’d only notice when you would leave
You were the one who stole the air from my lungs
And the trees grew angry and the sky agreed
So they commissioned the wind to blow you away with the leaves

And where are you now?
In a pile somewhere waitin’ to be taken?
Still in your bed waitin’ to be…
Awakened?

Now if the Sun is kind enough to you
She’ll find you a new place to rest
Yeah, she’ll shine her beams on all those terrible things
And they will scatter, yeah, watch ‘em run and hide!

So where are you now?
In your new home away from the cold?
A home so high in the clouds no one knows
No, not a soul knows…
Where you go!

And, baby, don’t leave
Oh, no, just stay with me
And, baby, come back
Lay your bones with me
Yeah!
