Lyrics The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family

There Is A Sound

There is a sound like breaking glass

When water falls on dying grass

There is a sound sung by the sea

And plastic bags caught in trees

There is a sound all buildings cry

Right before the morning light

The quiet sound that's left behind

When airplanes fall from the sky

It sleeps inside flourescent lights

And waiting rooms painted white

And late at night when you're asleep

It follows you in your dreams
