Don't tell me you love me I would only cry I would only cry Big long rivers From my eyes From my eyes Don't play Death Cab for Cutie I fall back in time I fall back in time You took our love story Put it on the line Put it on the line Maybe I was under the impression I could always always ask you questions I can't help falling in love with you I can't help falling back in love Don't tell me you hurt me I would only cry I would only cry Big long rivers From my eyes From my eyes Don't play Death Cab for Cutie I fall back in time I fall back in time You took our love story Put it on the line Put it on the line Maybe I was under the impression I could always always ask you questions I can't help falling in love with you I can't help falling back in love

Sadness persists Because Anyone can send a Facebook justification A letter, a sympathetic reparation A bunch of words, a careful and thoughtful nuance To touch only from a distance For these words didn't have to be faxed from two miles away To someone who transatlanticised for you back in the day It's only fair to say Sadness persists Sadness persists Because Your liberation comes at a cost And that cost is the brewing and spewing of my mercy I was meant to believe Spasmodically That I was the one with the insanity While you baked yourself silly Morning to blackness Filled your bags with all your personal property Disdained me nonchalantly And all I spurred was "Stay" It's only fair to say Sadness persists In a second, you are not mine In a second, you are not mine Sadness persists Because Help, is not something that can be made to realise Because it's not ice cream Or a spoon of digene That can be digested automatically Help is what you give carefully Help is what you accept consciously Accepting the ghosts of your past Accepting that darkness needs its masks To be removed And had it been you And me alone It would have been another way It's only fair to say Sadness persists You left nothing behind and I was all alone You left nothing behind and I was all alone Sadness persists Because Man is not an animal Capable of receiving or of loving unconditionally Those in love will find themselves lucky And those who are alone will feel solitary Because this, is a cruel anomaly The existence of an ordered coherent Society, If it was for individuality I would have known a better way It's only fair to say Sadness persists

She laughs in the middle of the night With two boys who hold her tightly Her hair is blonde and she, oh she dresses in saris I saw her talking to the trees I saw her walking steadily Trenches that she had dug with her hands, oh they have come to life She says, she wants to live under the sun She says her boys were meant to run No schools for them The earth's enough She floats like a honey bee The boys swim in the mud and they've been Running around, scooting down and touching ground She's happy We meet in the mornings to say hullo She looks me in the eyes, extends her soul Took me so long to see she's inside of me She says, she wants to live under the sun She says her boys were meant to run No school for them The earth's enough

The Earth is turning at the perfect pace The tides are rising at the perfect pace You have arrived with your perfect face Yet, we're sat here waiting What was the name Of that little birdie Singing songs to me What was the fate Surrounding her end Has she gone to sleep Little birdie Sing again We're sat waiting Oh she's gone She's gone Never to be seen Eulogy for the sparrow We sing a Eulogy for the sparrow We sing a Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you What was the time You let yourself loose With grass and greens and bees Moist eyes and clear skies And clean air to breathe Oh you dipped yourself in the stream and Jumped daringly Oh they're gone they're gone Never to be seen Eulogy for the forests We sing a Eulogy for the forests We sing a Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you Oh we are sat here crying Who will be the next to go Oh we are sat here crying Who will be the next to go Eulogy for tomorrow We sing a Eulogy for tomorrow We sing a Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you Never come, oh tomorrow We wish you

Today seems like it's not my day So I smile and I bow down to it Sometimes the sun, it burns my skin So I apply boroline to it The winter says it'll never be warm So I put on my best jacket My mother's love's like it'll never get old So I plunge into it Remember you were always wild Don't let them tame you through it Life gives lemons make lemonade So I find the biggest bucket Loneliness plays hide and seek So I bell her with a locket Children are playing on the street I join them in their cricket Friends say time togethers' time well spent So I move closer to them Money's becoming a burden now So I lighten my pockets All the greens - they are chopping it down So we go grow a forest Smoke from the cars is killing my cat So I built her a garden I built her a beautiful garden I built her a beautiful garden
