In The Yard, Behind The Church Lyrics by Eels

Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
In the yard behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away
We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day

We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents names on and
Listen to the water flow softly by
I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away our lies

In the yard behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds purch on
Gravestones as the garden's growing dim
We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters where you've been
In the yard behind the church where    Butterflies and blackbirds search for    A safe place to rest the night away    We will go down to the brook and    Sit upon the overlook then    Forget about the troubles of the day       We will walk among the graves of    Men long dead with presidents names on and    Listen to the water flow softly by    I will kiss you on the lips now    And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down    And let the water wash away our lies       In the yard behind the church where    Butterflies and blackbirds purch on    Gravestones as the garden's growing dim    We will lay down on the ground and    Put our cheeks against the dirt down    Where it no longer matters where you've been
