Chanson du Bon Chose

Saw the sycamore underneath the moon

I was waiting for something & you were sleeping in the

living room

And it was five-sixteen a.m. - the air was sharp and cool

And I wondered where you buried our dark little jewel

And the heat rising, in the room

I am digging graves. I am digging graves

And the water boiling, on the stove

I am digging graves. I am digging graves

So I held you close to me

I saw the shadows start to gather outside beneath the

sycamore tree

And something was changing

This was something here entirely new

Bursting into blossom inside of us both with the sun

coming up and

Me holding onto you

And your body breathing on mine

I am digging graves. I am digging graves

And your hands running through my hair

I am digging graves. I am digging graves
