Don't Tell Iris

Don't tell Iris I've been circling the grounds

On this fine morning, finding my face in the water

Don't tell Iris I've been digging underground

Searching for something that might grow up, like a daughter

She said, "I don't make the rules"

She said, "You don't tell the truth"

All I know is that it's gonna rain soon

And when it does, I won't be stuck in my room

Don't tell Iris I've been tiptoeing around

The hidden corridor between my lunch and dinner

Don't tell Iris that I didn't make a sound

While I was sneaking through the garden where I linger

She said, "I should lock the door"

She said, "Resting is the cure"

All I know is that it's gonna rain soon

And when it does, I won't be stuck in my room

I don't make the rules

You don't tell the truth

I should lock the door

Resting is the cure

All I know is that it's gonna rain soon

And when it does, I won't be stuck in my room
