I Was the Light of Day
Sarah, do not come home
I came and found the body, oh
Sarah, do not come home
He clearly had overgrown
And to his chest he’d pinned a note
Sarah, do not come home
I’ll be awake out in the garden, in the garden
I’ll be cutting the roses, cutting the roses
Out in the place where they would make us
And they’d take us
We’d be cutting the roses, cutting the roses
I was a steel plane (you rang, you rang)
I was the light of day (you rang, you rang)
I was a hеavy thing (you rang, you rang)
I was the light of day (you rang, you rang)
Ba do da da da do
Ba do da da da do
Ba do da da da do
Ba do da da da do
Now that you’ve left us hеre
The words you wrote, the message clear
Now that you’ve left us here
You went with pockets filled of rotten roots
And the plants you killed
Now that you’ve let us here
Are you awake out in the garden, in the garden?
Are you cutting the roses? Cutting up roses?
That was the place where you would make us
That you’d take us
We were cutting up roses, cutting up roses
I was a steel plane (you rang, you rang)
I was the light of day (you rang, you rang)
I was a heavy thing (you rang, you rang)
I was the light of day (you rang, you rang)
Come with me dancing now, with your scissors, dear
We will cut them out, out
We’ll bring you back somehow
We will cut them up and gather in
All the roses that have grown from your mouth
I was a steel plane
I was the light of day
I was a heavy thing
I was the light of day
