Shake the rutting tree
Stamp the hallowed ground
Searching our way home...


When your highs were cutting through my lows...

"The Bed Song" is one of the most beautiful things Amanda has ever done. Read Neil Gaiman's words about the song here.

Soothing.

Are you all right?
You're making me nervous with how much you leave me here.
Is it a sign?
I don't feel like ever getting well.

If there comes a day when I must go
Would you come with me
So we won't be alone
We won't be alone
If we got out quick and closed the door
Would you come with me
We'd leave before they know
We'd leave before they know

Just a great blues song about a girl who has a run-in with a guy who screwed her over, so she killed him and she doesn't feel guilty, the end.

I don't want to go in the fire, I just want to stay in my home
I don't want to hear all the liars, I just want to be with my own
