Lyrics
the shops are closed, at least in my imagination
nowhere to go, no jobs to do
I feel released from all consumer indecision
feeling pink & sleepy, dreaming through
these are the hard husks of my lonely fatalism
only a fool would see it so
I had no means, I had no way of buying trouble
so I stayed out of trouble, I stayed home
home – that’s where I’ll be
entirely on my own, I’m free to
I’m going to weave a nest around you where I find you
if not tonight, some other time
until I feel your shadow folding my horizon
there’s nothing lovelier than be alone
home – that’s where I’ll be
entirely on my own, I’m free to
I’m going to build a shed of leaves and shelter in it
& bring you home, my bowerbird
and be content until time starts to prise it from me
the one thing lovelier than be alone
home – that’s where I’ll be
entirely on our own, and free to
and when you eat me like a bird who eats the shell & all
your every word a kind of call
we’re going to pool together all of our resources
and spool it all together, here at home
we’re going to build a shed of leaves & shelter in it
only two fools would see it so
I’m going to feel your shadow holding my horizon
o, home
