Lyrics The Mutton Birds

The Mutton Birds

In My Room

(Don McGlashan)

In my room I can keep everything within reach

All the switches and fittings are new

I have tapped on the walls and I've paced out the floor

And I know every inch of the ceiling too

But I keep seeing you

Yes I keep seeing you

In my room I have built a religion of a kind

I've found virtue in things that stay the same

In my room I measure time by the things that I use up

And just like my shopping list I will never change

But I keep seeing you

Yes I keep seeing you

And I don't recognise where I am

All the shapes and the shadows start to spin

Because you're the one that finally let me in

To my room

In my room

In my room a river runs along the wall above my bed

In my room a mountain stands behind the door

There is nothing I'm denied, I don't need to go outside

Because in my room I cannot ask for more

And I don't recognise where I am

All the shapes and the shadows start to spin

Because you're the one that finally showed me...

That I've never been here before

No I don't think that I've been here before,

No I don't think that I've been here before,

No I don't think that I've been here before

'cause I don't recognise where I am

All the shapes and the shadows start to spin

Because you're the one that finally let me in

To my room
