When the birds are sleeping

That's when the trees sing

You left your winter clothes,

And your teeth marks in my skin



So shake the leaves, off the trees,

Watch them float down the stream

Your son, your daughter

Swimming in the water



And I miss you, even when you're around

I'm a black cloud,

Sending lightning to the ground



So darling please, show your teeth

Just one more dance to help me sleep

Whirl, cold water eyes

Fill the past with friendly nights

Human skin, can be hard to live in

You'll feel better in the morning

Wash your hands in the lake

You've got a heart, some way



Trails lost in the snow

Make way for winter's eerie glow

And that black rock in your bedroom

I hope you'll climb it soon

In your boat, tied to a tree

I hope you'll find the sea



Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep

For such a long time, such a long time

Sing myself awake

Watch the branches break

No one could ever take your place



Wash your face in the lake

You've got a diamond under your skïn
