Chris Thile - Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground Lyrics

Dead Leaves and the dirty ground when I know

You're not around shiny tops and soda pops when I

hear your lips make a sound when I hear your lips make a sound


Thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you that I'm coming home and I think I'd better sick around for a while so you're not

alone for a while so you're not alone


Soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna give you what you give to me and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little

gift to me


If you can hear a piano fall you can hear me coming down the hall if I could just hear your pretty voice I don't think I'd

have to see at all I don't think I'd have to see at all


I didn't feel so bad til the sun went down

I got back home no one to wrap my arms around

to wrap my arms around

to wrap my arms around


Any man with a microphone can tell you what he wants the most and you'll know why you love at all if you're thinking of the

holy ghost if you're thinking of the holy ghost
