Andrew Bird - The Sad Milkman lyrics
[Andrew Bird - The Sad Milkman lyrics]
Stood the Sad Milkman in love with the moon
She filled up his window
With soft milky light
'Til he crawled up the chimney
And into the night
But the moon she rises and the moon she falls
And her slow white eye sees nothing at all
Down on the sidewalks a crowd gathered 'round
Flinging up bricks and bottles to
Knock the boy down
He stood up above them with
His hands in the air
Calling up to the moonbeams
"Come let down your hair!"
But the moon she rises and the moon she falls
And her slow white eye sees nothing at all
He wanted to feel like a bucket of milk
Or sweet summer wind on rolling green hills
He wanted to fly up from the roof
Sailing up from the night wind to
The arms of the moon
But the moon she rises and the moon she falls
And her slow white eye sees nothing at all
But the moon she rises and the moon she falls
And her slow white eye sees nothing at all
