At Night Trees Aren't Sleeping - of montreal


Everything is falling apart, yes, I am
Watching me watch birds watch people
Watching me watch birds watch people
I wear my bow tie to bed
'Cos I'm waiting for the gorgeous young man
Hiding in the spaces
That darkness hides gorgeous young men
Everything is falling apart, yes, I am
Watching me watch birds watch people
Watching me watch birds watch people
We are only waiting here to die
At least let me put my arms around you
Why try to keep it from myself
When it feels so good to sing about love?
Everything is falling apart, yes, I am

Everything is falling apart, yes, I am Watching me watch birds watch people Watching me watch birds watch people I wear my bow tie to bed 'Cos I'm waiting for the gorgeous young man Hiding in the spaces That darkness hides gorgeous young men Everything is falling apart, yes, I am Watching me watch birds watch people Watching me watch birds watch people We are only waiting here to die At least ...
I'm so glad I have you to think of To channel all my loving energy into Even though my feelings aren't returned And in time I won't think about you this way That still doesn't stop me If just for now, wishing we were each other's baby I feel these emotions for you Still I know there's no way That you're the person I imagine you to be I don't know if it was chance Or if this happened by fate I ...
How will I ever know you enough to love you if you're hiding who you are? Don't ask me to explain. Who are you hiding you from, across the table with a penny in each eye? Don't ask me to explain. I'd like to marry all of my close friends, And live in a big house together by an angry sea. Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me Who will be watching my body when I sleep? Who will I bel...
When you come around Everything else disappears My ears disappear When you come around Everything else vanishes Crowds slowly fade When you come around Everything evaporates When you come around, around, around On the news at night They talk about the disappearances They interview the people Who were witnesses Most are shocked, some don't care When you come around Everything else disappears My...
I can't stop your memory From breaking my heart Devils were laughing so loud I couldn't hear the radio In the dark bags become Sneaking devils waiting to pounce And display impressive claws I might wink at them before they land I can hear my heart beat Across the room behind the closet door When I'm laying in my bed in the dark I can't gather all the love I need when I need it I'm not mad I un...
I want to write something beautiful, Something so beautiful That I just can't sing it without getting that incredible feeling, The one that just overwhelms my senses. Because it's the only thing I have, It's the only thing that makes my life worthwhile. I know there aren't too many people Who allow themselves to say what they feel, So I was watching your eyes, In case they just might say somet...
You remind me of a snowflake That falls while comets hit the earth Destroying buildings and trees But you are so light in the air You never disrupt a thing Orenda, if you were here I could walk through you Orenda In my bed at night, I dream You're a ghost that only cats can see Some nights you talk to me Some nights you sing me to sleep While moonlight showers the room Orenda, if you were here...
Montreal is Where I began to feel inside the gray sadness of winter. When you told me that this isn't it, And I drove away. Walking to the statue in the park, Through snow drifts up over our knees, And every street sign written in French. We sat by the statue. You looked in my eyes, Then said, "I'm so sorry." Later, laying on your bed, Wondering what's going wrong. Every time I'd ask you'd sta...
Sleeping in the beetle bug With a hundred pounds of air in my heart Don't think that I'm able to sympathize I'm happier to see it gone Floating above your house like a penguin Dropping cherries from my mouth Tapping the walnuts and the shadows out of a dreaming Pair of brown eyed ghosts In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn Grass is long and l...
The summer's good for tulips though pansies disagree They find the heat most distasteful and humidity Far too grim to stand up tall and bargain with the bees They prefer to droop and mope and wait for autumn's breeze Wait for autumn's breeze The autumn's good for pumpkins though apples don't approve The trees that they've been living on now forces them to move And rudely lets them to fall and ...
I'm so excited, I just can't wait for you to come I've been living alone and lonely far too long When I see your face and the love that's in your eyes You know I just can't place this feeling I'm so excited All my sad days will soon be over I know you can do it Because you did it before And I'm happy when I'm with you I guess it's a lot to ask of you To change everything that's bad You know I ...
Tim, wish you were born a girl, So I could've been your boyfriend. I know it's not possible now. I just never met a girl I like half as much as you. And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day, Or at least until the afternoon And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem. And then when you got sick, I could take the day off work. I coul...

I can see that you're rubbing off on everyone you know. You're rubbing off on me, I can feel your incredible glow. I can hear your happy voice in other people's voices. I can hear your beautiful voice sometimes when I speak. You've got a special gift. Do you see how you're changing the world just by hanging around? I can see how you sweetened up both of your grumpy roommates. Now they even say...
