lyrics
Come if you’re able
tears like the leaves fall down
scenes from your table
we’re moving the body now
Some silence has lifted you from a world unkind
a shroud we have fitted
a sick sad world that you leave behind
but I hear you say…
“You know my arms are always around you”
Moving the body now
we’re moving the body now
A book, a piano
gifts from the muse, in your selfless way
my teacher, my feeder
this red hair’s going nowhere since you went away
I dream her, I see her
The softness of the hands I'm holding in my mind
If only I could keep her
I'm still a little girl that needs you one more time
You said your arms were always around me
I’m moving my body now
just moving my body now
though I’ve been reaching out
through all the years, and the years go by
though I can’t feel you now
- still I can’t feel you near my side
I can’t feel your arms around me
I can’t feel your arms around me anymore
tears like the leaves fall down
scenes from your table
we’re moving the body now
Some silence has lifted you from a world unkind
a shroud we have fitted
a sick sad world that you leave behind
but I hear you say…
“You know my arms are always around you”
Moving the body now
we’re moving the body now
A book, a piano
gifts from the muse, in your selfless way
my teacher, my feeder
this red hair’s going nowhere since you went away
I dream her, I see her
The softness of the hands I'm holding in my mind
If only I could keep her
I'm still a little girl that needs you one more time
You said your arms were always around me
I’m moving my body now
just moving my body now
though I’ve been reaching out
through all the years, and the years go by
though I can’t feel you now
- still I can’t feel you near my side
I can’t feel your arms around me
I can’t feel your arms around me anymore

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 1044 fans who also own “Body”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTAsupported by 658 fans who also own “Body”
If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.
