[Verse 1]

Whisper, whimper on, I

Won't forget to close your eyes for you

I'll sing before you lie down, down

And push your sleep along

I'll sink below the ground

Find the weeping, wailing calls you echo in

I'll build a house around you

Stir a moat until you drown, down

[Refrain]

I'll whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine

I'll whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine

[Chorus]

Only, lonely, hidden breath beneath the floor

Only, only, where your tears drip from the drawers

Only, lonely, hid the morning from the stars, ah

Only, only, weeping glimmers in the dark

[Verse 2]

I could hear your back cracking

O'er the sky so you could wear it

And thunder whispered low so

You could bear it in

[Refrain]

I'll whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine

I'll whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine

[Bridge]

Come down, come now back

Carry on, oh, warily on

Come down, come now back

Carry on, oh, warily on

[Chorus]

Only, lonely, hidden breath beneath the floor

Only, only, where your tears drip from the drawers

Only, lonely, hid the morning from the stars, ah

Only, only, weeping glimmers in the dark

[Outro]

Whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine

I'll whisk away your heartsigh

And bury it in mine
