Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground Lyrics - White Blood Cells - The White Stripes

Dead leaves and the dirty ground 

when I know you're not around 

shiny tops and soda pops 

when I hear your lips make a sound 

when I hear your lips make a sound 

Thirty notes in the mailbox 

will tell you that I'm coming home 

and I think I'm gonna stick around 

for a while so you're not alone 

for a while so you're not alone 

If you can hear a piano fall 

you can hear me coming down the hall 

if I could just hear your pretty voice 

I don't think I need to see at all 

I don't think I need to see at all 

Soft hair and a velvet tongue 

I want to give you what you give to me 

and every breath that is in your lungs 

is a tiny little gift to me 

is a tiny little gift to me 

I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down 

then I come home 

no one to wrap my arms around 

wrap my arms around 

Well any man with a microphone 

can tell you what he loves the most 

and you know why you love at all 

if you're thinking of the holy ghost 

if you're thinking of the holy ghost
