Moon With A Beard
Bear Quartet · Early Years [2003]
Spending some serious time around
Eyes moving, body speaks
I'm always here and out of reach
I remember mouth wound and the cut
I tried to speak you said please
Please shut up
It's a quiet world
Made all the right promises
Still much to answer for
You will wake up you will go to sleep
And somewhere in-between (I guess)
Lose everything you'd like to keep
Take my eyes out, put candles in the holes
Take me some place, god, only some place
She never goes
Made all the right promises
Still much to answer for
Guess it hurts
