Verse 1

Blue morning blue morning
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, kitten,
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesn't have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow

Chorus

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Verse 2

Are you happy when you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone

Chorus

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Verse 3

I dreamt I saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
One for sorrow Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver, Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in

Chorus

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Bridge

Open up your eyes
You can see the flames, flames flames
of your wasted life
You should be ashamed 
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'
(repeat 3x)

Outro

Change, change, change
(repeat 3x)
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
(repeat 3x)
Change, change, change
(repeat 3x)
