Laurel Songtext
von Royal Bangs

Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?
Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?

Kettle whistle whining
Snap back to what you
You were doing
It′s cold and someone needs something
A nest of twigs through the window
Balancing the fork of a tree
She stacks the plates, keeps a dry eye

And the thing that happened

The thing that could not be
Is now the thing that happened
And not the cruelest dream
That broke the weakening
Smiling ring of bliss
And the sleep that children sleep in
Will have to know that that belief


Look out, look out
It looks different
It looks different
Look out, look out
It looks different
But you know now
But you know now

Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?
Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?

On his way home
The man who used to read
Stories to them
Abandoned in a cage
Flying home through the wet dark
Tore across the road
And split his whole life


Between the glass and home
Out past the window
In the woods beyond the yard
Something awful
Something wild
A word, a spark
But in the raw tree
The twisting gears around
There is a knowing
And now you know

Look out, look out
It looks different
But you know now
But you know now

Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?
Is there anything that you think I could do?
Is there anything I could do?
