In My House - And Also the Trees

In my house there’s a light for our sins

There’s a light that flickers like

Only you can see

There’s a man that watches me

There’s a girl that likes to comb her hair

There’s a man that watches me

Dark ribbons in her hair

In my house a light that shines

It’s brilliant up there father

Keep on right to the door there’s a sign

In my house

In a draw in a shelf by the wall

There’s shells and there’s grasses

They watch my house

And the living me says I can’t go

Push you to the waters edge to save

Pretty little man with his head full of shame

Where the wood shines brightly

And the river sails

In my house

I can see where the river flows

It’s like a shrine it’s like a morgue

It’s a peace where the old men go
