(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
|
|
|
|
Readying to bury your father and your mother,
|
What did you think when you lost another?
|
I used to wonder why did you bother,
|
Distanced from one, blind to the other?
|
|
Listen here, my sister and my brother
|
What would you care if you lost the other?
|
I always wonder why did we bother,
|
Distanced from one, deaf to the other
|
|
(chorus)
|
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
|
|
It's these little things, they can pull you under
|
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
|
I always knew this altogether thunder
|
Was lost in our little lives
|
|
(repeat chorus 3x)
|
|
It's these little things, they can pull you under
|
Live your life filled with joy and thunder
|
Yeah, yeah, we were altogether
|
Lost in our little lives
|
|
Oh, oh, ah
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
Oh, oh, oh, but sweetness follows
|
