It's Silly To Sing Your Name

from Tumbling Trees by Tumbling Trees by Lightcap

/

lyrics

A bottomless rain comes up and
Fakes to wash away our pasts
But if we'd truly be honest we're just about to get wet

A terrible stiffness in my spine
And my muscles refrain from my mind
An electrical current flashes through my nerves unkind

And will our songs be told
When both our souls are sold
And our time did unfold
When our bodies are grey and old
And all our children sing these ancient tales
Now kick me to wake me
Then trick me and say I'm free
Whatever I know, I know it to be vanity

It's silly to sing your name
I guess they are all the same
I just stand in your door and sing to you day by day

And will our songs be told
When both our souls are sold
And our time did unfold
When our bodies are grey and old
And all our children sing these ancient tales

I'm the happiest boy alive
I'll happily grow old and then die
Let me follow you softly through the uprising light
