In A Week Hozier, Karen Cowley

[00:25.46] I have never known peace
[00:28.31] Like the damp grass that yields to me
[00:34.19]
[00:37.99] I have never known hunger
[00:40.73] Like these insects that feast on me
[00:47.00]
[00:50.02] A thousand teeth
[00:53.57] Yours among them, I know
[01:00.22] Our hungers appeased
[01:04.13] Our heartbeats becoming slow
[01:10.08]
[01:13.74] We lay here for years or for hours
[01:19.23] Thrown here or found
[01:22.09] To freeze or to thaw
[01:24.89] So long we become the flowers
[01:30.39] Two corpses we were
[01:32.96] Two corpses I saw
[01:35.86] And they'd find us in a week
[01:40.93] When the weather gets hot
[01:46.64] After the insects have made their claim
[01:51.64] I'd be home with you
[01:54.12] I'd be home with you
[01:57.79]
[02:02.87] I have never known sleep
[02:05.58] Like the slumber that creeps to me
[02:12.20]
[02:16.30] I have never known color
[02:19.24] Like this morning reveals to me
[02:26.14]
[02:31.30] And you haven't moved an inch
[02:34.87] Such that I would not know
[02:42.26] If you sleep always like this
[02:45.57] The flesh calmly going cold
[02:52.13]
[02:55.17] We lay here for years or for hours
[03:00.63] Your hand in my hand
[03:03.10] So still and discreet
[03:06.13] So long we become the flowers
[03:11.60] We'd feed well the land
[03:13.82] And worry the sheep
[03:16.93] And they'd find us in a week
[03:22.34] When the cattle show fear
[03:28.04] After the insects have made their claim
[03:33.41] After the foxes have known our taste
[03:38.76] I'd be home with you
[03:41.28] I'd be home with you
[03:44.86] They'd find us in a week
[03:48.49] (Lay here for years or for hours)
[03:49.87] When the weather gets hot
[03:54.05] (So long we become the flowers)
[03:55.18] They'd find us in a week
[03:58.74] (Lay here for years or for hours)
[04:00.92] When the cattle show fear
[04:05.02] (So long we become the flowers)
[04:06.28] And they'd find us in a week
[04:11.87] When the buzzards get loud
[04:17.54] After the insects have made their claim
[04:22.96] After the foxes have known our taste
[04:28.45] After the raven has had its say
[04:33.24] I'd be home with you
[04:36.10] I'd be home with you
[04:38.66] I'd be home with you
[04:41.21] I'd be home with you
[04:44.08] I'd be home with you
[04:47.04] I'd be home with you
[04:48.67]
