SIGNS

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

 

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

 

I could sleep forever these days

'Cause in my dreams I see you again

But this time fleshed out fuller faced

In your confirmation dress

 

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 about someone else

 

At your funeral I was so upset

So up-, so upset

In your life you were larger than this

Statue-, statuesque

 

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
