[00:01.48]Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone
[00:28.92]Woke up and for the first time
[00:31.55]the animals were gone
[00:35.73]It's left this house empty now
[00:38.44]not sure if I belong
[00:43.00]Yesterday you asked me
[00:45.50]to write you a pleasant song
[00:50.00]I'll do my best now
[00:52.38]but you've been gone for so long
[00:57.50]The window's open now
[00:59.50]and the winter settles in
[01:04.38]We'll call it Christmas
[01:06.37]when the adverts begin
[01:08.31]I love your depression
[01:13.38]and I love your double chin
[01:18.00]I love 'most everything
[01:20.81]that you bring to this offering
[01:24.31]Oh I know that I left you
[01:30.75]in places of despair
[01:33.94]Oh I know that I love you
[01:45.00]so please throw down your hair
[01:52.25]At night I trip without you
[01:59.00]and hope I don't wake up
[02:05.94]'Cause waking up without you
[02:09.92]is like drinking from an empty cup
[02:15.99]Woke up and for the first time
[02:21.36]the animals were gone
[02:23.80]Our clocks are ticking now
[02:27.99]so before our time is gone
[02:30.18]We could get a house
[02:31.80]and some boxes on the lawn
[02:35.36]We could make babies
[02:37.24]and accidental songs
[02:38.93]I know I've been a liar
[02:42.30]and I know I've been a fool
[02:44.11]I hope we didn't break yet
[02:47.24]but I'm glad we broke the rules
[02:51.55]My cave is deep now
[02:55.61]yet your light is shining through
[02:58.49]I cover my eyes' still all I see is you
[03:16.11]Oh I know that I left you
[03:22.93]in places of despair
[03:27.12]Oh I know that I love you
[03:36.93]so please throw down your hair
[03:44.24]At night I trip without you
[03:50.99]and hope I don't wake up
[03:57.87]'Cause waking up without you is
[04:04.49]like drinking from an empty cup
