Clare Bowditch & the Feeding Set when the lights went down

Select language to translate this lyric

This won't bring our dog back
This won't unstitch time
If I had a dollar now for
Every time I'd hollered out your name
I'd buy us a word mine
Our mine, she'd be rubies
But deep down you'd find pearls
'Cause underneath this cave
There are a thousand crashing waves
One of them knows you
When the lights went down, you shone
Like a mirrored train at dawn
With your back carriages closed
But your front ones always on show
This won't bring our dog back
And this won't unstitch time
But deep in side the rabbit's heart
Where all the windows blew apart
There's someone making your diamonds
You lay them on the foreshore
For your girl's mother to see
Thinking underneath this cave
There are a thousand crashing waves
One of them knows me
From the thirteenth floor at dawn
The moon looked on
She looked on
With our dog alive in our arms
