lyrics
Do you ever find it strange,
The sound of falling rain?
Thunder in the background, rumbling deep.
Radio static lulls the world to sleep.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why, why why?
I wish I knew.
But I’ve got bats up in my belfry, and a pocket full of stones.
Postage stamps, picture frames, and a closet full of bones.
Dancing without rhythm to a nameless tune,
Spinning round in circles underneath a violet moon.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why, why, why?
I wish I knew.
But the only words that come to mind are bye, bye, bye.
I’ll see you soon.
But there’s waterfalls of wisdom
Behind our every bruise.
Stars beneath the soles of our shoes,
There’s secrets on my bookshelf,
And plans atop my desk,
Bits of paper by my bedside,
And strangers in my nest.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why,
Oh, why?
The sound of falling rain?
Thunder in the background, rumbling deep.
Radio static lulls the world to sleep.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why, why why?
I wish I knew.
But I’ve got bats up in my belfry, and a pocket full of stones.
Postage stamps, picture frames, and a closet full of bones.
Dancing without rhythm to a nameless tune,
Spinning round in circles underneath a violet moon.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why, why, why?
I wish I knew.
But the only words that come to mind are bye, bye, bye.
I’ll see you soon.
But there’s waterfalls of wisdom
Behind our every bruise.
Stars beneath the soles of our shoes,
There’s secrets on my bookshelf,
And plans atop my desk,
Bits of paper by my bedside,
And strangers in my nest.
And all the ravens in the rafters crying why,
Oh, why?
