shut down the world leaving you

Rufus Wainwright

See one thousand eyes forget the starry skies
Leaving you
Every sunny path a bitter aftermath
Leaving you
So could you kindly shut the door
It s strange to think i needed air before

Then shut down the world and stay
Within four walls
Please shut down the world and stay
Within these four walls

Just one look at you
I m finished wanting to Challenge god
So i made my heart a home of elements so strong
We ll never feel the cold

And if god should come to call
I ll leave the curtains drawn
Won t make the slightest sound
Till he is out of town
And our secret tomb remains
And we re done feigning death

Then shut down the world and stay
Within four walls
Please shut down the world and stay
Within these four walls
