Guided By Voices - Things I Will Keep (for Jim Sheppard) lyrics

Coded-ancient the crease Unlock the timers And strike the chimers In my sleep Grab the coat - steal the fleece From behind the curtain It will most certainly Bring peace To those with countless numbers No cold or hot Like things that i will keep And hide them in my sleep Coded ancient Oh brightness we shall see Loaded up and at night when We shall flee Not to tread through the Heavy life Sink in the dream On the right night You'll find her waiting Selling things for cheap The things that i will keep
