Bodies Lyrics by Tunng

This Is​.​.​.​ Tunng - Magpie Bites and Other Cuts

0

[Verse 1]
You've grown up so much since I saw you all those days ago
Still got that look about you, still got those things that we know
Red-gilded place in the woods and the words that were said
Black twisted branches that hid all the things that we did

[Verse 2]
You threaded wasps onto string and you gave them to me
You touched the edges of their wings and the insides of me
All of the years make a picture that's faded and bright
All of the years make us different and faded and bright

[Chorus 1]
Bring back the bodies and lay them out for me
Smooth down their crisp clear white wings in the morning
Bring back the yellow and black of the bodies
And lay them out slowly and string them up gently for me

[Verse 3]
Small piles of sticks built up like temples to time in the sun
Beds of green leaves laid out where fear and O-Negative burn
Strange to see you in a suit, but your shoes are still red
Strange to see you at the front after all that you said

[Bridge]
Your face changed
A long time ago, but you're the same
Underneath this sleet that whirls
Around like a line between worlds
And there are birds in here
Singing lullabies to me
About bodies and you and me
And all that we've seen and you
And all that we've seen

[Chorus 2]
Bring back the bodies and open them for me
Lift out their shimmering hearts in the morning
Bring back the yellow and black of the ocean
Let me out slowly and sing to me coldly
Bring back the yellow and black of the bodies
And let me in slowly, string me up sensitively
