Will this night fulfill all the promises
|
And bury us in peace
|
Will it leave us free and forgetful
|
Or at least bring some sleep
|
|
Your eyes don't catch the little things
|
As they narrow on your fall
|
I'm checking your pulse 'cause you're so quiet
|
I'm kissing you but you don't feel it
|
|
Why do you do this to me?
|
Showing me all that I'm good for
|
Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel
|
She was the most beautiful cloud
|
That ever passed before the face of a girl
|
Seems like nothing's too good for this life
|
Some things are too good for this world
|
|
And our names and our faces
|
Well they're just spare change
|
In memory of a soul
|
Kept dropping spare change
|
|
Why won't you stay?
|
|
In memory of a little girl
|
Who was far too much in love with the world
|
And who didn't really wanna stick around for the end
|
|
Why won't you stay?
