meet me here at dawn

Andrew Bird

The empty tank is us
Expired milk is us
This is a test of trust
Meet me here at dawn

So jump the wooden fence
Run past the sleeping hens
If you had any sense
You'd meet me here at dawn

Find the memory erase it from your mind
Just give it up, just give it up
Our friends and family will all get left behind
We'll give them up, give them up

I'm gone as light is shot
Whether you come or not
I think you know you ought
To meet me here at dawn

Find the memory confront it like a crime
Just beat it up, just beat it up
Our clothes and precious things will all get left behind
Just give them up, we'll give them up

Forget the painful past
Let go of all you grasp
This is the last I'll ask
To meet me here at dawn
