lyrics

I saw a girl outside the window yesterday
Her face was made of gold
Her face was made of paperclips and clay
We watched her dance between the spaces in the rain
We watched the sparrow call
We watched her dance till she was swept away

I want to breathe under the shadows
I want to fog up all the windows with my breath
I want to hang her from the gallows
I want to feel you become one

I saw a girl outside the window yesterday
Her eyes were silver glass
Her face was made of paperclips and clay
We watched her sink beneath the waters of the bay
We watched the dragonfly,
We watched her sink till night had turned to day

I want to breathe under the shadows
I want to fog up all the windows with my breath
I want to hang her from the gallows
I want to feel you become one

I want to breathe under the shadows
I want to fog up all the windows with my breath
I want to hang her from the gallows
I want to feel you become one
