Chanson du Bon Chose

[Verse 1: John Darnielle] I saw the sycamore underneath the moon I was waiting for something And you were sleeping out there in the living room And it was 5:16 AM, the air was sharp and cool And I wondered where you'd buried our dark little jewel [Chorus 1] And the heat rising in the room I am digging graves (x2) And the water boiling on the stove I am digging graves (x2) [Verse 2] So I held you close to me I saw the shadows start to gather outside Beneath the sycamore tree And something was changing There was something here entirely new Bursting into blossom inside of us both With the sun coming up and me holding onto you [Chorus 2] And your body breathing on mine I am digging graves (x2) And your hands running through my hair I am digging graves (x2)
