lyrics

I dreamed I woke in a room in the house of cows
dreamed I woke in a room in the house of cows
chasing after the moon of leaves and waking in the blue
I dreamed I woke in a room in the house of cows

they grow like bulbs on a page in the book of sand
grow like bulbs on a page in the book of sand
ain't got no Voynich or hidden screed gonna read me like a mushroom
they grow like bulbs on a page in the book of sand

it was down by the crossyards seventy tons
fore the wind got caught in anchors
down by the crossyards seventy tons before
seed him run with his heads all flung to the wind like proper Jesus
down by the crossyards walking before the lord

I dreamed I woke in a room in the house of cows
chasing after the moon of leaves and waking in the blue
crushed in the arms of sleep like she was trying to forget you
dreamed I woke in a room in the house of cows
