Patty Griffin - Boxes on the Lawn lyrics

Closed down the house now on this sad affair Very last step of a thousand steps there And will we ever reach the sky now, I won't care He called me liar when I told him I loved him And I thought it was plain as the sky above him He called me a liar Yeah, he called me a liar And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song He got the lampshade, I got the cat Strange sensation, coming down to that Strange sensation, coming down to that ...baby He's got the four walls and I've got the sky of gray He said he'd like to get out of harm's way Ooooohhh Get out, baby And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song He wants me to understand and he wants me to say How I understand we'd be better off this way Wants me to pack my things and he wants me to go But he sure does care about me, oh he wants me to know I got these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song
