Lyrics

[00:01.02]
[00:18.65] Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
[00:22.73] And making him take me back down to the water
[00:26.86] That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
[00:30.59] I will not desert him I will not desert him
[00:34.71] No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
[00:42.27] Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
[00:46.00] I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
[00:50.31] The sky that has been avoiding me
[00:57.13] I started this letter I'm gonna send it to Ruba
[01:19.48] It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
[01:23.42] With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
[01:27.28] She will recite the prayer of my pen
[01:30.28] Saying time take us forward Relief from this longing
[01:35.02] They can land that plane on my heart I don't care
[01:38.95] Just give me November the warmth of a whisper
[01:42.70] In the freezing darkness of my room
[01:48.13] But no matter what I would do in attempt to replace
[01:54.37] All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain
[01:58.11] I've seen the curious girl with that look on her face
[02:02.35] So surprised she stares out from her display case
