Siv Jakobsen - Buried in Treasure lyrics

[VERSE 1] He sleeps in a corner with 13 cats A blanket of litter, the air stenched and bitter A dragon guarding his gold His house is a cave full of useless things Pictures in pieces lie scattered in bins But to him they're diamonds and dreams [CHORUS] And he will stay there ‘til the end of his days Gathering memories in trashcans and trays Days are wasted in a careless world And salt is burning my gaze As I watch him wither away Buried in treasure [VERSE 2] His fingers are trembling through dresses and skirts Searching through mountains of sweaters and shirts For a sign or the smell of her smile To keep them together, to keep her alive So he won't remember the day when she died As his heart oh it travels back in time [CHORUS] And he will stay there ‘til the end of his days Gathering memories in trashcans and trays Days are wasted in a careless world And salt is burning my gaze As I watch him wither away Buried in treasure [BRIDGE] He tries to change Stays the same Pa**es time in a haze He's a broken clock His years are lost Lost [CHORUS] And he will stay there ‘til the end of his days Gathering memories in trashcans and trays Days are wasted in a careless world And salt is burning my gaze As I watch him wither away Buried in treasure [CHORUS] And he will stay there ‘til the end of his days Gathering memories in trashcans and trays Days are wasted in a careless world And salt is burning my gaze As I watch him wither away Buried in treasure
