The Empty Nest
Wild Beasts

Did I judge this wrong?

But you had it all

You had it all

A gift of the gods

In your city of gold

And you'll piss it all

You had it all

And what drags the rope

You know, or, you don't

You had it all

Gone gone gone gone

Going going gone

The day you moved off

The whole village mourned

Love's no kind of joke

Or something small

And where will you go?

There's things you don't know

Fingers tearing your clothes

Baby ungrown

You had it all

Gone gone gone gone

Going going gone

And suffering alone

Your bowl emptied out

All your secrets known

I welcome your call

These walls don't fall.
