Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

Lyrics

And if the snow buries my
 My neighborhood
 ♪
 And if my parents are crying
 Then I'll dig a tunnel
 From my window to yours
 Yeah, a tunnel
 From my window to yours
 ♪
 You climb out of the chimney
 And meet me in the middle
 The middle of the town
 And since there's no one else around
 We let our hair grow long
 And forget all we used to know
 Then our skin gets thicker
 From living out in the snow
 You change all the lead
 Sleeping in my head
 As the day grows dim
 I hear you sing a golden hymn
 ♪
 Then we tried to name our babies
 But we forgot all the names that
 The names we used to know
 But sometimes we remember our bedrooms
 And our parent's bedrooms
 And the bedrooms of our friends
 Then we think of our parents
 Well, what ever happened to them?
 You change all the lead
 Sleeping in my head to gold
 As the day grows dim
 I hear you sing a golden hymn
 The song I've been trying to sing
 Purify the colors, purify my mind
 Purify the colors, purify my mind
 And spread the ashes of the colors
 Over this heart of mine
 
 And if the snow buries my
 My neighborhood
 ♪
 And if my parents are crying
 Then I'll dig a tunnel
 From my window to yours
 Yeah, a tunnel
 From my window to yours

 And meet me in the middle

 And since there's no one else around
 We let our hair grow long
 And forget all we used to know
