If You Stay Sober Lyrics by Shearwater

The Dissolving Room

2001

If you stay sober
I'll put the kettle on
And you can come over
Drink tea and watch the lawn
And I'll lay you down
I'll lay you down
As the lights come on in town
When day is over
I wanted to die
For two days in '95
I stood by the lakeside
And waited for the mood to be right
As leaves turned brown
I listened to the sounds
Starting to announce October
I'll lay you down
You can empty out your mouth
And I'll arrange the room again
When everything is over
