Two Coffins

Probably the saddest song Tom's ever written.



Two coffins for sleep.
One for you, one for me.
We'll be there eventually.

In the dark of our graves our bodies will decay.
I wish you'd never change.

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little bird chest and your featherless wings.

All the things I have yet to lose will someday be gone too/got to.
Back into annihilation.
All things will fade, maybe it's better off that way.
I wish I could keep you with me.

CONFIRMED

Just the one change of lyric, not sure if I prefer the old one or not. Song is beautiful

Two coffins for sleep, one for you, one for me
We'll get there eventually
In the dark of our graves our bodies decay
I wish you'd never change
How lucky I ever was to see, the way that you smile at me
Your little moon face shining back at me
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me

Two coffins for sleep

All the things that I have yet to lose will one day be gone soon,
Back into annihilation
All things will fade. Maybe it's better off that way
I wish you'd stay with me

How lucky I ever was to see, the way that you smile at me
Your little moon face shining back at me
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me

Two coffins for sleep

Moon face? A baby/child?

The song is written for Evelyn.

Okay, that's what I had in mind. Is it your interpretation or has Laura mentioned it at some point?

Well, actually it's kinda obvious.

She's said it in a couple of live shows =)

The most gentle and romantic song on the album, “Two Coffins,” is also the most morbid.
