Do the dishes
With the windows open
Soak the dirt
From under your nails
Pour a double
Put a record on the table
The light’s always perfect
Just before it fails
[Verse 2]
Bow your head down
When you break bread together
Close your eyes
Make a circle of hands
There is nothing
That cannot be taken from you
In this life we just hold on
To the love that we have
[Verse 3]
Swing the axe
In the hour before daylight
Note the sparks
That attend to the blade
A thing made free
Of itself leaps apart
And the heart divided
Would do just the same
[Verse 4]
Take the back roads
With nobody on them
Find a river
Make yourself clean
Go down to the water
If you would be delivered
Of sinner and sin
Seen and unseen
[Verse 5]
Step outside
Let the stars reel around you
Cup your hands
Around a bright flame
In that darkness
Let the heavens confound you
It’s all just a story
Even the sound of your name
[Verse 1] Do the dishes With the windows open Soak the dirt From under your nails Pour a double Put a record on the table The light’s always perfect Just before it fails [Verse 2] Bow your head down When you break bread together Close your eyes Make a circle of hands There is nothing That cannot be taken from you In this life we just hold on To the love that we have [Verse 3] Swing the axe In the hour before daylight Note the sparks That attend to the blade A thing made free Of itself leaps apart And the heart divided Would do just the same [Verse 4] Take the back roads With nobody on them Find a river Make yourself clean Go down to the water If you would be delivered Of sinner and sin Seen and unseen [Verse 5] Step outside Let the stars reel around you Cup your hands Around a bright flame In that darkness Let the heavens confound you It’s all just a story Even the sound of your name Explain Request ×
