Ours

歌詞

Ours are homes we never chose Far from anyone we know Taps with every faucet on Lamps that light an empty lawn So we took what we inherited And we dug a hole to bury it All our property and marriages All we wanted was a narrative That was all ours That was all ours Ours are arms that never rest Carved from countless heavy steps Stairs with every stringer worn Wine where they have wound before So we threw away the atlases All the heavy ones they handed us They called us everything but savages But we found a couple passages That were all ours That were all ours So we spoke in lower registers From the merchants and the ministers We were little more than whisperers But we found a couple listeners They were all ours They were all ours They were all ours They were all ours
