Lyrics
mama's favorite dress of mine had birds all over i wore it every Sunday 'til i got older and i reached away for something there that i could taste in the air put it all in a little black box hide it on the floor of the sea only leave behind you the waves and speed i was gone for 30 days and 20 hours before i saw the water close and tried to call the towers and i opened up my window then and gave my letters to the wind put it all in a little black box hide it on the floor of the sea only leave behind you the waves and speed i wasn't quite sure where i was going i knew that i'd know when i was there and i wouldn't let anybody keep it away from me again put it all in a little black box hide it on the floor of the sea only leave behind you the waves and speed
