Lyrics

0:09Know this house that I called home
0:14Her gentle milk was happy just to flow
0:20Know that her tomcats took their licks in turn
0:32Some branches fall to open arms
0:37Some paradises are a prayer too far
0:43Gods in the treetop making mockingbirds
0:55If I could choose I would do things right
1:00Teach my dreams to look me in the eye
1:07Sing my heart out into my hand
1:11Shine where light demands
1:20When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
1:26When I take your flesh with my false tooth
1:31When I bend until I break in two
1:37Call me a fool being green
1:44In the leaves of the world
1:50The leaves of the world
2:00The wind blows all the wild away
2:05This house was kind as every hiding place
2:11Bones are the hardest offering to burn
2:22That dog will bark though no one's there
2:28This man went mad breaking his easy chair
2:33Sing me the softest heart I've ever heard
2:46It's only right how this trail goes cold
2:51Moonlight gliding through our empty clothes
2:57Know I'm warm when a cloud rolls by
3:02Rolling right for sky
3:10When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
3:15When I take your flesh with my false tooth
3:21When I bend until I break in two
3:27Call me a fool being green
3:34In the leaves of the world
3:40The leaves of the world
Know this house that I called home
Her gentle milk was happy just to flow
Know that her tomcats took their licks in turn
Some branches fall to open arms
Some paradises are a prayer too far
Gods in the treetop making mockingbirds
If I could choose I would do things right
Teach my dreams to look me in the eye
Sing my heart out into my hand
Shine where light demands
When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
When I take your flesh with my false tooth
When I bend until I break in two
Call me a fool being green
In the leaves of the world
The leaves of the world
The wind blows all the wild away
This house was kind as every hiding place
Bones are the hardest offering to burn
That dog will bark though no one's there
This man went mad breaking his easy chair
Sing me the softest heart I've ever heard
It's only right how this trail goes cold
Moonlight gliding through our empty clothes
Know I'm warm when a cloud rolls by
Rolling right for sky
When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
When I take your flesh with my false tooth
When I bend until I break in two
Call me a fool being green
In the leaves of the world
The leaves of the world
