Spirograph

Andrew Bird - Spirograph

.

Echoes down water wells

Picked up in sacred spirographs

Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby

.

They buried him next to his first wife

His widow watched from under a visor

Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was

Blazing

Oh, oh

.

Then the sun went down

And she went to sleep

She lays her burden down

She don't need to sleep

.

When they were done they went back home

To a house he built with opposable thumbs when

They were so much younger

Oh, oh

.

Five years later she died in the house

All the breath that blows all the dust around

It just keeps on sifting

Oh, oh

.

Then the sun went down

And she went to sleep

She lays her burden down

She don't need to sleep

Oh no

.

Echoes down water wells

Picked up in sacred spirographs

Weekend and winters unendable bendable baby
