- Lyrics -

don't you cherish me to sleep
never keep your eyelids clipped
hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father's crib

hair, old, long along
your neck onto your shoulder blades
always keep that message taped
cross your breasts you won't erase
I was only for your very space

hip, under nothing
propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
just have to keep a dialogue
teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss

joy, it's all founded
pincher with the skin inside
you pinned me with your black sphere eyes
you know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside

so itʼs storming on the lake
little waves our bodies break

there's a fire going out,
but there's really nothing to the south

swollen orange and light let through
your one piece swimmer stuck to you

sold, I'm Ever
open ears and open eyes
wake up to your starboard bride
who goes in and then stays inside
oh the demons come, they can subside

...i like this more than the official music video.

[csmacneilage]

I think that Justin Vernon is one of the most brilliant artists of our time.

[singlala15]

@artintheforest I think it's somewhere in South-East England.

I agree with many of the other commenters here. The "official" video is *awful*. They should have saved the time and money and just declared *this* the "official" video.

The horses! Oh, man, the horses!

[opnskye]

SO much better the pretentious official video!!

[Tadek59]

Amazing video and beautiful song !

[heabenj]

Absolutely raped the replay button, this is music. I'm not even embarrassed to admit that every time I listen to this song, a tear falls from my eyes. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

[artintheforest]
