Biography:
Shearwater is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas, led by multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Jonathan Meiburg
The band was formed by two members of Okkervil River, back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff, so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on.

And you can come over, drink tea, and watch the lawn,

And I'll lay you down.

I'll lay you down
C G C D Am
As the lights come on in town when day is over.
Em Am D G Em
I wanted to die for two days in 95’
Am D G
I stood by the lakeside and waited for the mood to be right.
C G
As all the leaves turned brown,
C G C G D Am
I listened for the sounds starting to announce October.

I'll lay you down
C G
you can empty out your mouth
C G C G D Am
and I'll arrange the room again when everything is over.
