written may 18, 2009. this came right when i had run out of songs. in an act of desperation i picked up my ukulele (which is rarely played, and rarer still for actual inspiration) and created the detuned unison mess that served for the foundation of the whole song. its about death. death coming and taking a child. really, it is.
lyrics
From the moment I approached, you were sleeping. Soon you'll be sleeping ever more. The ashes in the hearth could suddenly catch spark, and the boards could break beneath your bed. You're right where you're supposed to be.
Of course you're young. You've hardly just begun to crawl. of course my job wouldn't be such fun if I cared of things like that at all. You're right where you're supposed to be.
If I were you I'd run as fast as you can. If I were you I couldn't even dream of what's about to happen.
Oh, it's cold. It would be such a shame if the windows were to open. You're right where you're supposed to be.
