He believed in you
Remember when he said
Words are always hard to manage
Can't get out of bed
Now hear him
Through the empty city
He swept you of your feet
He's sweeping up the dust now, baby
Drink your whiskey neat
Come on, old lovers
Fall down in the grass
Wake up with the breeze
And gather around the torn-up pictures
Join the family
Hold the blankets tighter
Turn on all the lights
Mummify the lovers
Burn them in the night
Gather our belongings
Throw them from the train
Let go of the railings
Let go of the reins
Take on me, take me on
Take me on, take on me
Come on old lovers
Fall down in the grass
Wake up with the breeze
And gather around the torn-up pictures
Join the family
Now hear him
Through the empty city
He swept you of your feet
He's sweeping up the dust now, baby
Drink your whiskey neat
Hold the blankets tighter
Turn on all the lights
Mummify the lovers
Burn them in the night
Gather our belongings
Throw them from the train
Let go of the railings
Let go of the reins
Take on me, take me on
Take me on, take on me
