Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone

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 I don’t wake up

’Cause waking up without you is

like drinking from an empty cu
