[rev. Aug. 30, 2013]

Well I hope you're well insured
If my poor little heart becomes injured
And I hope you can appreciate
When I say I'm coming early I'm bound to be late
So don't change your rate

In the morning
Buildings swarming
Pearls are forming
In the seas
In the evening
Birds are leaving
In the seething
Canopy

In my time with this name
I've been so many different men, which one do you blame?
In my skin, with this face
I dreamt I was a dragonfly gone from this place
And I soared into the light
But I was unmade into a human just tonight

In the morning
Buildings swarming
Pearls are forming
In the seas
In the evening
Birds are leaving
In a seething
Canopy

You're so kind, you're so soft
And I could never see the strings that hold you aloft
You're so vain, you're so obscure
And I wouldn't take any more of that, it might be pure
You're so in love, you're so outdoors
I wouldn't take any more of that, it isn't yours

In the morning
Buildings swarming
Pearls are forming
In the seas
In the evening
Birds are leaving
In a seething
Canopy

In the morning
Buildings swarming
Pearls are forming
In the seas
In the evening
Birds are leaving
In a seething
Canopy
