In The Yard, Behind The Church - Lyrics - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

Title: In The Yard, Behind The Church
Album: Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
Artist: Eels
Composer(s): Mark Everett

Lyric:
In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away

We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day

We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents' names and
Listen to the water flow softly by

I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away all lies

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds perch on
Gray stones as the garden's growing dim

We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters where you've been
