The Uncluded - Earthquake lyrics
[The Uncluded - Earthquake lyrics]
The wind and rain are here again
And a powerless darkness had laid me down
The lights are out all over town
But the earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
See the little bird fly 'round his head
As the little boy sit's on the ground
And makes the toy cars drive around
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
(There's been a fundamental
Loss beyond comprehending)
Cause his mother died the other day
He's only three years old
Her body's gone but her soul is here to stay
See the little birdy-watch him grow
See the little birdy-watch him grow
(And grow and grow and grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow)
October ended with a single
Feather funneling it's way
To muddy Earth in front
Of funny sparrow copycatting
Eventually it would select and circle one
As if to pause and crown the victim
Of a loss I wasn't comprehending
There's been a fundamental loss
We aren't comprehending
(It's a loss that I can't comprehend)
It's said the winged in
Post-mortal visitation echo well
The stasis of a spirit taken
From it's only home
A legend quoted by the wreathing
Of a grieving child
When all that's left to do is sit
And watch the creatures grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow
(See the little birdy watch him grow)
The winds and rain have begun
Inching in a frame
(The winds and rains and here again)
Like darkness with a bounty on
Whatever lay me down
(And a powerless darkness had laid me down)
The town had been retiring to it's quarters
As if waiting for the earthquake
(The lights are out all over
Town but the earthquake) got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
And a powerless darkness had laid me down
The lights are out all over town
But the earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
See the little bird fly 'round his head
As the little boy sit's on the ground
And makes the toy cars drive around
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
(There's been a fundamental
Loss beyond comprehending)
Cause his mother died the other day
He's only three years old
Her body's gone but her soul is here to stay
See the little birdy-watch him grow
See the little birdy-watch him grow
(And grow and grow and grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow)
October ended with a single
Feather funneling it's way
To muddy Earth in front
Of funny sparrow copycatting
Eventually it would select and circle one
As if to pause and crown the victim
Of a loss I wasn't comprehending
There's been a fundamental loss
We aren't comprehending
(It's a loss that I can't comprehend)
It's said the winged in
Post-mortal visitation echo well
The stasis of a spirit taken
From it's only home
A legend quoted by the wreathing
Of a grieving child
When all that's left to do is sit
And watch the creatures grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow
(See the little birdy watch him grow)
The winds and rain have begun
Inching in a frame
(The winds and rains and here again)
Like darkness with a bounty on
Whatever lay me down
(And a powerless darkness had laid me down)
The town had been retiring to it's quarters
As if waiting for the earthquake
(The lights are out all over
Town but the earthquake) got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
