The White Stripes' Lyrics
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know youre not around
Shiny tops and soda pops when I hear your lips make a sound
When I hear your lips make a sound
Thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you that I'm comin' home
And I think I'm gonna' stick around for a while so you're not alone
For a while so you're not alone
If you can hear a piano fall you can hear me comin' down the hall
If I could just hear your pretty voice I don't think I'd need to see at all
Don't think I'd need to see at all
Soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna' give ya' what ya' give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me
It's a tiny little gift to me
I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down
Then I come home no one to wrap my arms around
Wrap my arms around
Well any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most
And you know why you love at all if you're thinkin' of the holy ghost
If you're thinkin' of the holy ghost
