[Verse 1]

Build your little fort out in the garden, oh

Kill your little men and bake their bones

Build our little guns out of their counterparts

And peel their skin for paper on the walls, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I would be your graveman, I will suspend them

As many fathoms down as your voice goes

And I would be your gunman, have you follow me

As many fathoms down as your voice goes

[Chorus]

You are the shadow time won't take away from me

Lost seeds of moonlight in our veins

I’ll be the blanket fallen 'round and 'round you in

Echoes of your throat calling my name

[Post-Chorus]

Where have you been, my turning dream?

Brass like the beams run in between

Black as the shining from your eyes

Where have you been, my turning dream?

[Verse 2]

I would say out loud whatever runs through me

Irreverent as the altars of our birth

Whispering in train tunnels of unhallowed things

The echoes of our blood tied winding days, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I would be your graveman, I will suspend them

As many fathoms down as your voice goes

And I would be your gunman, have you follow me

As many fathoms down as your voice goes

[Chorus]

You are the shadow time won’t take away from me

Lost seeds of moonlight in our veins

I'll be the blanket fallen 'round and 'round you in

Echoes of your throat calling my name

[Post-Chorus]

Where have you been, my turning dream?

Brass like the beams run in between

Black as the shining from your eyes

Where have you been, my turning dream?
