Song lyrics
Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break
What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off

Words to make her stay: you said
"Leave me and the plants die"
A panic smile across your face
Corrugated browline
The hissing bitter punchline
"Call when you can tie your lace"

The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off
Sleep it off
Sleep it off

hissing bitter punchline
hissing bitter punchline
bitter punchline

hissing bitter punchline
hissing bitter punchline
bitter punchline

The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today

You rule my world
You rule my world my brother
You rule my world
You rule my world compadre

This is a beautiful song. One not to be listened to when you miss a loved one as I found out. Excellently written. Just stunning.
