Not Drowning, Waving – Perfect Design lyrics

Album: Another Pond

The old woman swears now and then,
fears for her death in a home for the old,
and it's the perfect design to keep her away,
she's not supposed to understand.

And she cries out aloud as the door swings closed.
I am old, I am old and the fire is cold.
Lord I'll believe in you now,
And God's the perfect design to keep her away,
she's not supposed to understand.

The old woman breaths now and then,
laughs in her sleep as she thinks how it could have been,
she sees this perfect design to keep her away,
it's too late for her to understand...
she's asleep inside.
