Lyrics:

I had always admired how the floorboards shone
But that day, there were leaves by the door

I couldn't bring home
I couldn't bring home
The owner of the house and garden
And I was alone
I was alone
All alone in house and garden

So I swept until they were clean
The meanness of mortality
Tossed outside
I sighed in relief, but too soon
The meanness of mortality
In a single leaf
Had evaded my eye

I couldn't bring home
I couldn't bring home
The owner of the house and garden
And I was alone
I was alone
All alone in house and garden

So I swept until they were clean
I swept so I wouldn't scream
I wept 'til I couldn't breathe
Then I went outside

I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Not alone in house and garden

For the birds were eager to sing
The trees were moving with me
And I, I couldn't breathe
A single leaf
Had evaded my eye
