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 Owl girl, cold water eyes Fill the past with friendly nights Human skin can be hard to live in You'll feel better in the morning Swim, wash your hands in the lake Swim, you've got a heart in the 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 Sing, wash your face in the lake Sing, you've got a diamond under your skin
