Weave Room Blues Lyrics & Chords By Okkervil River

I was laid up in a blue bed
Talking to the apparition
He was spitting out his history
I was young and liked to listen
I would listen to the whispers

I was noticing my mother
Hang her hands into the water
Of a well where little pincers
Snipped the tips off all her fingers
I was crying like a singer

And I went
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la

My friend's a flash of red hair
And we took off all our clothes where
It was cool inside the closet
And the floor it started pounding
As a killer came across it

I was staring at a spider
Spinning out a silver wire
It was hauling up a robin
That had broken from its brothers
We were singing to each other

And it went
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la

Well the woman is a weaver (hide your home inside the cedars)
She is weeping when I leave her (carve a door for little squeezers)
And this little room is lonely (you can crawl along inside there)
Live among the bones inside it (here's the coolness of the metal)
And this little room is quiet (there's a little instrumental)

Talking to the apparition (I had found another planet)
On the morning I went missing (I was staring at my father)
I was young and liked to listen (As he held his little daughter)
I was starting to exist then (I awoke and had recovered)
I guess I hadn't been before that (I was ice and I was water)

He was saying what was missing (I was ice and I was water)
I was trying to remember (or I hadn't been before that)
I had just begun existing (and the universe was shaking)
I had walked out from the weather (as I saw my little sister)
I was missing like a feather (we were singing to each other)

'Cause she said
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la

She said
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
See

Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Breathe
