O How I Enjoy The Light Songtext / Lyric

[written by Will Oldham, published by royal stable music (ascap)]



it's us i liken to a covey

a polar bear has breached a

pup

the palace walls are

strewn with tapestries

and the window panes are

splintered and shattered

with a crumbled dog

on every landing

and every stranger cowers

the dress is torn,

the tone demanding

the canine's latent strength






and would her loins

would yield a yelp

a beating purr to steal the

time with

here's where we walk,

hand in hand

o how i despise it

o how i enjoy the light

of the first morning forever

wisdom, wealth tag

on like afterbirth

i will love you forever



and if i don't

and if i do

the difference exists in a

fiction

the day has cooled,

the time will too

and we will call upon the light
