Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two ravens in the old oak tree
And one for you and one for me
And bluebells in the late December
I see signs now all the time
[Verse 2]
The last time we slept together
There was something that was not there
You never wanted to alarm me
But I'm the one that's drowning now
[Verse 3]
I can sleep forever these days
'Cause in my dreams I see you again
But this time fleshed out, fuller face
In your confirmation dress
[Verse 4]
It was so like you to visit me
To let me know you were okay
It was so like you to visit me
Always worried 'bout someone else
[Verse 5]
At your funeral, I was so upset
So up-, so upset
In your life, you were larger than this
Statue, statuesque
[Verse 6]
I see signs now all the time
That you're not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me
I see signs now all the time
That you're not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me
