Oh, You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]

I met you through a common friend[00:00:02]

In the attic of my parents house[00:00:04]

And though I didn't know it then[00:00:08]

I soon was finding out[00:00:12]

You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet[00:00:15]

And hold the earth in place[00:00:20]

Each time a faucet opens[00:00:23]

Words are spoken[00:00:26]

The water runs away[00:00:28]

And I hear your name[00:00:33]

No nothing has changed[00:00:37]

There was this book I read and loved[00:00:50]

The story of a ship[00:00:54]

Who sailed around the world and found[00:00:58]

That nothing else exists[00:01:02]

Beyond his own two sails[00:01:05]

And wooden shell[00:01:08]

And what is held within[00:01:10]

All else is sure to pass[00:01:13]

We clutch and grasp[00:01:16]

And debate what's truly permanent[00:01:18]

But when the wind starts to shift[00:01:22]

There's no argument[00:01:26]

I sing and drink and sleep on floors[00:01:42]

And try hard not to be annoyed[00:01:46]

By all these people worrying about me[00:01:50]

So when I'm suffering through some awful drive[00:01:58]

You occasionally cross my mind[00:02:02]

It's my hidden hope that you are still among them[00:02:06]

Well are you [00:02:13]

Oh you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet[00:02:29]

And hold the earth in place[00:02:34]

Each time a curtain opens[00:02:37]

Sunlight pours in[00:02:40]

A lifetime melts away[00:02:42]

And we share a name[00:02:48]

On some picturesque grave[00:02:51]
