 |VERSE 1|
October's  got those  orange eyes
 But somehow  I still  lost sight
When  you lifted the lid  off of my pumpkin  head
 And kissed  me goodnight
Should  it be a thorn  in my side
 We never  quite broke  that horse
She  slept in the cul-de-sac  right
Seven  miles from my  front porch
 |VERSE 2|
Bundle  up and come  with me now
Down  the road where to the burnt  down barn
We  could make a blanket  of coats
 And breathe  our souls into the neighbour’s  front lawn
But  oh god that look  in your eye
Trouble  that does not  search words
It  sprung from the biblical  vine
 And are waiting  to return  to the dirt
 |CHORUS|
 The stitches  in your winter  clothes
 Your cello  bows
 We stole  your hair to make them
 We're sorry  for the iron  shoes
 We nailed  to you
 And stuck  you in the rain
 And then you  sprinted away
 Sprinted away  to where I don't  know
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
 |VERSE 3|
You  swept all the red  from my cheeks
 I didn't  hear you come  back inside
And  light up the gas  in the den
 And stand  there in the thin  winter light
But  oh god that curve  in your spine
 A question  mark , A doctor  sign
was  framed by the windowsill
 And you saw  something I did  not end that night
 You saw  something I did  not end that night
 |CHORUS|
 The stitches  in your winter  clothes
 Your cello  bows
 We stole  your hair to make them
 We're sorry  for the iron  shoes
 We nailed  to you
 And stuck  you in the rain
 And then you  sprinted away
 Sprinted away  to where I don't  know
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
God's  moving in your bloodstream
 Where the cross  beats aren't so slow
 && I don’t do banjo.
 Great song, enjoy.
