The Box Lyrics

Rob lived in a box by the rails

Only thing he knew, you don't fail

When you live in a box by the rails

Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail

Sweep my mess away

Leave my body, leave my bones

Leave me whole and leave my soul

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all

Nothing, I don't need at all

He ate from the bins in the park

Stayed out with the rats after dark

Never left a trail, never made his mark

When he ate with the rats after dark

Sweep my mess away

Leave my body, leave my bones

Leave me whole and leave my soul

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all

Nothing, I don't need at all

Calling on his friends, never made him sad

Didn't want the things he never had

It only made them feel so bad

For having the things he never had

Sweep my mess awayJohn Flynn - The Box - http://motolyrics.com/john-flynn/the-box-lyrics.html

Leave my body, leave my bones

Leave me whole and leave my soul

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all

Nothing, I don't need at all

If you stay in that box overnight

And don't get out when it gets light

There's not much lost of the secret life

That's done wrong and it's never done right

Now some more flowers grow

The corn gets eaten by a few more crows

And an old man's box is full of bones

Won't see his footprints in the stones

Sweep my mess away

Leave my body, leave my bones

Leave me whole and leave my soul

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all

Nothing, I don't need at all

Sweep my mess away

Leave my body, leave my bones

Leave me whole and leave my soul

Leave me nothing, I don't need at all

Nothing, I don't need at all
