Bright Eyes Movement Of A Hand Lyrics

Movement Of A Hand Lyrics

You follow the footsteps

Echoes leading down the hall

To a room, there's music playing

Tiny bells with moving parts

Here the shadows make things ugly

An effect quite undesirable

And the bold and yellow daylight

Grows like ivy across the walls



And it bounces off of the painted porcelain

A tiny dancing doll

Her body spins as she pirouettes again

The world suddenly seems small



On an off white, subtle morning

You stretch your legs in the front seat

And the road has made a vacuum

Where our voices used to be

An' you lay your head onto my shoulder

Pour like water over me



So if I just exist for the next ten minutes

Of this drive, that will be fine

And all these trees that line this curb

Would be rejoicing and alive



Soon all the joy that pours from everything

Makes fountains of your eyes

'Cause you finally understand the movement

Of a hand waving goodbye
