[verse]
in these houses of stark white
we’d have you think that nothing ever happens
lead us not that we should go astray
or ever fall from grace

in these houses of stark white
all our sins are nailed beneath the clapboards
and all our secrets are swinging from the rafters
through these open windows i am borne away

[pre+chorus]
i sit down down down where they make me
and i eat everything i’m told
on the plate before me i see my own skin and bones
overhead the sky is black of carrion crows

[verse]
every lesson is one false driven
deeper into the ground
every prayer another wire wound
round the very thing they desire

i slip out every night through a crack in the book
i lay myself down beside him
they like to call what we have done by any other name
so when morning comes i hide my love away
[pre+chorus]
there’s a moon and a wind on the water
and his fingers tug my robe
i might take off running oh, but he knows i will stay
my hands pass gently over him
and tear the nails away

[chorus]
singing shine a light to see you by
lay me down to the corn and the rye
bend and kiss my face again
lay me down in the river
the river of sin

(laughter)

[verse]
in these houses of stark white
i will live and i will walk upright
and the sun will blaze upon the day
when their aching bones have settled in the clay

[pre+chorus]
i ran down down down and i have lain there
and i have put them in their shame
no one among them will ever find me on the days of reckoning
[chorus]
i’ll be singing shine a light to see you bye
lay me down in the corn and the rye
bend and kiss my face again
lay me down in the river
