"Furnace Room Lullaby" Neko Case (from The Gift)

[




Neko Case is one of the few singers I enjoy listening to day in and day out. She has a hauntingly beautiful voice.




Furnace Room Lullaby

Neko Case


All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart
How come, how come

I twisted you over and under to take you
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
I twisted you under and under to break you
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest

All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart
How come, how come

So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone

I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
I can't bring a sound from my head though I try
I can't seem to find my way up from the basement
A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die

All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart
How come, how come

So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone

All night, all I hear, all I hear, all I hear is your heart
