I Retreat

from Gardening In a Tornado by Dr. Pants

/

lyrics

I BASK IN THE LIGHT OF YOU
ONLY WHEN THE CLOUDS ARE OPEN
BUT WHEN THE DARNESS FALLS
AND THE RAIN IT COMES IN SQUALLS
I SEE YOUR SHADOW AND I’M GROPING
SO I PUT MY FINGERS IN MY POCKETS
I PUT MY SMILE INSIDE A BOX
AND I WAIT FOR A DAY
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO CALL MY NAME
I ONLY LISTEN WHEN YOU TALK

AND I RETREAT
FROM THE SILENCE
AND I RETREAT
FROM THE COLD

I AM A MAN WITH WEAKENED EYES
I CANNOT SEE THE THINGS THAT HURT ME
I HAVE CLAIMED TO UNDERSTAND
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DEMAND
TRUTH IS I’M JUST DIRTY
I EMPTY OUT MY SOULFUL GARBAGE
I PUT MY BAGGAGE AWAY
I STOW THE LECTURE NOTES
I HANG UP MY WINTER COAT
I’M STAYING INSIDE TODAY

AND I RETREAT
FROM THE SILENCE
AND I RETREAT
FROM THE COLD
