Four Cypresses Lyrics - Grizzly Bear

Instead of moving 

You stared into the wall 

Tangled up in a pile 

It's early 

Make no sound 

Living in a pile 

It's chaos but it works 

Planes flying overhead so early 

Dreadful sound 

Four cypresses seen from a neighbor's yard 

No memory, a future 

Drawing down 

Planes flying overhead so early 

Make no sound 

Four cypresses torn from the roadside 

Great thundering noise from the hillside 

Some thousands of years built it up 

Some crumbling form to be torn down
