Grandeur

In the house up on the hill

with the dishes in the sink

My rings on the windowsill, I woke up just to think

I turned the radio on, like a ghost in the fog

I heard a voice come on and listened to it talk

'Til the sun turned the room into gold flames

From a time machine back east

To the dark when you would lay me down to sleep

Oh, my pillow sinking deeper

you never were a sleeper, you never were a keeper

You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up
