Lyrics of The Animals Were Gone by Damien Rice
verse
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long
verse
The window's open now, and the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
I love your depression, and I love your double chin
I love most everything you bring to this offering
chorus
Oh, I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh, I know that I love you, so please, throw down your hair
Night, I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you, is like drinking from an empty cup
verse
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking, now, so before our time is gone
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
We could make babies and accidental songs
verse
I know I've been a liar, and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you
chorus
Oh, I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh, I know that I love you, so please, throw down your hair
At night, I trip without you, and hope that I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
Writer(s): Damien George Rice
