Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came down over there sleepy mountains
Where our wide toes plunged into the weeping shale
To tear our skin up off from the bottom
Leaves our ankles bare
Don't just wander back and forth and leave it
[Verse 2]
Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some
Some ghastly predicament of mine you'll find
Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs with
Me all coiled up near the bottom with my chest un-bared
[Verse 3]
Oh, but dear the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Oh, but dear the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
[Verse 4]
Oh, but dear the sky is low watch
Fluent sea men rig their rudders so they'll
Graze it with their wind arrows
'Tis in the fathoms that-that they brush below-low
[Verse 5]
Oh, my dreams come back to me
Back to me, back to
Oh, my wrinkles build on me
Build on me, build on
[Verse 6]
Oh, but dear the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Oh, but dear the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
