Corduroy Legs Lyrics - Kidsticks - Beth Orton

There is that I can only hear by the moon 

I lay still enough to hear the trees grow 

I listen for the creak of their thoughts 

And I hear your corduroy legs running up the stairs 

And all the kindest words are held in reserve 

For you 

And all my gentlest thoughts 

A hand reaches to me 

Across the banished sea 

And holds me 

Holds me holding you 

It holds me 

Holding you 

There is that I can only hear by the moon 

I lay still enough to hear the trees grow 

I listen for the creak of their thoughts 

And all the wisdom their age bestows 

I hear your corduroy legs running up the stairs 

All the kindest words reserved 

For you 

All my gentlest thoughts 

Are yours 

A hand reaches out to me 

Across the vanished sea 

And holds me 

Holding you 

Holding me 

Holds me 

Holding you
