The Animals Were Gone Lyrics - 9 - Damien Rice

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone 

It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong 

Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song 

I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long 

The window's open now and the winter settles in 

We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin 

I love your depression and I love your double chin 

I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering 

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair 

Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair 

At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up 

'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone 

Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone 

We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn 

We could make babies and accidental songs 

I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool 

I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules 

My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through 

I cover my eyes, still all I see is you

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair 

Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair 

At night I trip without you, and hope that I don't wake up 

'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
