Best Fit: This is the first song you actually recorded purposefully for Aventine, isn’t it?
Agnes Obel: Yes, it’s the first song I wrote and recorded, like in one big thing, just when I came home from touring with Philharmonics. And I was, like, ok now we stop, no more. And I felt like it could be...
[Verse 1]
I wanna buy you roses
'Cause the words are dead,
Follow in the blindness
On the arrow head
'Cause the words are dead
And you know it
Yeah the words are dead
Lower them down
[Verse 2]
Didn't know if you could
Deny the dead,
Leaving them in silence
On their mouldy bed
Oh I am numb
And over
Their kingdom come
Lower me down
[Bridge]
They are dead
They are dead
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't you cry for me
[Outro]
Lower them down in the ground
Lower them down in the ground
