Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone

Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
It's left this house empty now
Not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me
To write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now
But you've been gone for so long
The window's open now
And the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
When the adverts begin

I love your depression
And I love your double chin
I love most everything
You bring to this offering

I know that I've left you
In places of despair
I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair At night I dream without you
And hope I don't wake up
Cos waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now
So before our time is gone
We can get a house
And some boxes on the lawn
We can make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar
And I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break it
But I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now
Yet your light is shinning through
I cover my eyes
Still all I see is you
