lyrics

analia have you seen the sights - i’ve seen ya
looking out your window i’m wondering what you see
R you feeling you R hanging clothes for sunday drying
trying to get real warm before you’re ironed and put away
analia que has visto algo te veo
mirando por la ventana quiero saber lo que ves
analia te sientes que cuelgas ropa para el sequia domingo
entendando de calentarte antes de que se plancha y estas guardada

analia the ties have bound and beat ya
and being scared beside you has left this knight afraid
analia can we brave this love that bleeds from us
and wake up to the morning glory of a brand new day
analia las bondades te queda atada y golpeada
analia podemos frentar este amor que nos sangre
y amancer en la gloría de el dia vida

analia you’ve been in the fight - i’ve seen ya
cowering in the corner with a towel wrapped around ya
analia if the butterflies could throw this fight
they’d float above the stinging bees and make you well again

analia maybe some day we’ll see reason
for what has had to happen to so many hopeful souls
analia do you think that if we plead with them
that maybe if we’re all real good they’re gonna let you stay

analia you’re now free from the fever
and all the soulless suffering that some hearts must endure
analia i see your smile, i see ya
looking down on all of us - so obviously relieved

analia U fly light as a feather
frolicking so freely like an endless winding river
analia if you do believe
i bet you get your just dessert in dust and dirt blown on a summer breeze

analia have you seen the sights - i’ve seen ya
looking out your window i’m wondering what you see
R you feeling you R hanging clothes for sunday drying
trying to get real warm before you’re ironed and put away

diary of a decomposing dog

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
