Rosie Gordon Lies So Still

Don't be afraid to let the rain come in

Don't be frightened for your skin

The heart's as open as it's

Ever been

It doesn't beat

Or break or cry

There's only earth

And grass and sky

Now you stretch beneath the

Beating sun

Within the minute of all time

The grass and trees don't for a

Second long

Pause to say

Hello goodbye

To where you live

Or when you die

They know nothing about your heart

They know nothing about your heart

Rosie Gordon lies so

Very still

Under the carpet

Of the earth

If this won't wake you then

Nothing will

They cut your clothes

Round your blackened skin

You'd never know

Where life begins until you learn

They know nothing about your heart

They know nothing about your heart

They knew nothing about your heart

It doesn't beat

Or break or cry

There's only earth

And grass and sky

They know nothing about your heart

They know nothing about your heart

They know nothing about your heart
