Bear Lyrics by O’Brother

Garden Window

2011

In bed your body burns just like a fire
And your eyes they twitch under lids from side to side
And my ego can't seem to get a grip
I'll simplify, simplify the terms I’m leaving
Until my body lays under leaves and green-green grass
By then my ego might finally get a grip

I'll let my lover lie
And in absence I'll drink tonight
With tired limbs, indecent mind
And beggar's bones, beggar's bones, beggar's
I'll let my lover lie
And in absence I'll drink tonight
With tired limbs, indecent mind
And beggar's bones, beggar's bones, beggar's
I'll let my lover lie

I could patiently seek another chance
Or I could cut you deep with a simple glance
I loathe your hesitance
I loathe your hesitance

I'll let my lover lie
And in absence I'll drink tonight
With tired limbs, indecent mind
And beggar's bones, beggar's bones, beggar's
So lay like a monument
To poise and indifference
Betrayed by retreating lips
To baring teeth, baring teeth, baring
I'll trade my vindictive sigh
For quarter of witless spite
Til I, like my lover
Lie with beggar’s bones, beggar's bones, beggar's
Til I let my lover

Lay like you know
I swallowed my hungry pride
And let it all go
For the sake of a better life

Lay like you know
I swallowed my hungry pride
And let it all go
For the sake of a better life
