He went to see for a day
He wanted to know what to say
When he’s asked what he’d done
In the past to someone
That he loved endlessly…
Now she’s gone, and so is he…

I went to war every morning
I lost my way, but now I’m following
What you said in my arms…
What I read in the charms
That I loved durably
Now it’s dead and gone, and I am free…

I went to sleep for the daytime
I shut my eyes to the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
That I love arguably
All our labouring gone to seed

We went out to play for the evening
We wanted to hold on to the feeling
On the stretch in the sun
And the breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea…

Hey, I heard what you said In sun and in showers,
We all must be fed.
All must be fed.
You wear yourself so steadily,
You’re ready for a fight
But in hell and high water
It helps to be right.
Helps to be right.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game,
And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay I burned all your letters I buried all your stones
The curses and the raptures, I kept them for my own
Oh say, how ’bout this instead?
Come by with some flowers and stay ’til they’re dead
Stay ’til they’re dead.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game, And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay Come by with some flowers, And stay til they’re dead.
Come by with some flowers, And stay ’til they’re dead.
 
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.
