The Plains Lyrics - Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes

Just as the sand made everything round 

Just as the tar seeps up from the ground 

Bitter dancer, ever turning 

So was the day that you came to town 

You took a room and you settled in 

Washed off the chalk from your weathered skin 

Daylight sleeper 

Bloody reaper 

You took a room and you settled in 

I should have known one day you would come 

All of us walk so blind in the sun 

Midnight feeder, beggar pleader 

I should had known one day you would come 

Tell me again my only son 

Tell me again what have you done 

At arm's lengths 

I will hold you there 

There 

At arm's length 

I will hold you there 

There
