Artist/Band: Damien Rice
Lyrics for Song: The Animals Were Gone
Lyrics for Album: 9 [2006]



Woke up and for the first time the Animals were gone

It's left this house empty now not sure if I belong

Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song

I'll do my best now but you've been gone for so long



The window's open now and the winter settles in

We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin

I love your depression and I love your double chin

I love most everything you bring to this offering



Oh, I know that I've left you

In places of Despair

Oh, I know that I've loved you

So please thrown down your hair



At night I dream without you

And hope I don't wake up

'cause waking up without you

Is like drinking from an empty cup



Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone

Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone

We can get a house and some boxers and all along

We can make babies and accidental songs



I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool

I hope we didn't break it, but I'm glad we broke the rules

My cave is deep now yet your light is shining through

I cover my eyes still all I see is you



Oh, I know that I've left you

In places of Despair

Oh, I know that I've loved you

So please thrown down your hair



At night I dream without you

And hope I don't wake up

'cause waking up without you

Is like drinking from an empty cup
