From the recording Named After You
Lyrics
Named After You
Verse 1
I’ll take you up to the attic this year
I’ll dress you in clothes of an old pioneer
I’ll find a boa that sparkles and shines
I’ll make you dance, then charge you a dime
Chorus
Draw near, draw near
So I can feel your skeleton bones
Don’t cover your ears now
This is not a place to call home
Verse 2
Let fall your secrets and let fall your lies
Build a house in the trees, sleep in the sky
Let fall your old books and your harsh remarks
Float down the river to place deep and dark
Chorus
Draw near, draw near
So I can feel your skeleton bones
Don’t cover your ears now
This is not a place to call home
Verse 3
I’ll write a sweet song named after you
I’ll sink into sorrow, I’ll see in blue hues
I’ll wander your old road dressed in disguise
I’ll make you mine, I’ll live in your eyes
Chorus
Draw near, draw near
So I can feel your skeleton bones
Don’t cover your ears now
This is not a place to call home
