Andrew Bird - Spirograph Lyrics

Echoes down waterwells picked up in sacred spirographs
Weekend and winters unendable bendable, baby
They buried him next to his first wife
His widow watched from under a visor
Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was blazing
Oh

And then the sun went down
And she went to sleep
She lays her burden down
She don’t need to sleep(?)

When they were done they went back home
To a house he built with opposable thumbs
When they were so much younger
Oh

Five years later she died in a house
All the breath that blows the dust around
It just keeps on sifting
Oh

And then the sun went down
And she went to sleep
She lays her burden down
She don’t need to sleep(?)

Echoes down waterwells picked up in sacred spirographs
Weekend and winters unendable bendable, baby
