(Verse)
|
In between the night and dawn,
|
Try and fold your wings and sleep it off
|
Do you weep a bitter song
|
From the lap to a latch
|
To the lack to the wronged
|
'Cause love ain¡¯t for certain
|
¡®Till it's so long gone
|
There¡¯s a wishing glass you can lean on
|
From the chip to the crack
|
It comes tumbling down
|
|
(Refrain)
|
Swallow your stars,
|
Weak for the strong
|
A beggar of bravery
|
Brings its rewards
|
All along now, sing it along
|
|
(Refrain)
|
Swallow your stars,
|
Kindle them all
|
Rise from the ash of your dust and your sparks,
|
All along now,
|
Swallow your stars
|
|
(Verse)
|
So you tow that weight along
|
Set deep in bone, no you can¡¯t shake it off
|
And at night you lay sleepless in form
|
From the foot to the mouth
|
To the shame in your heart
|
And who will forgive you, you¡¯re so long lost
|
When you wake you will repeat that song,
|
You can follow your steps
|
But you can¡¯t fix the harm
|
|
(Refrain)
|
Swallow your stars,
|
Shuffle the cards
|
Bridle your shadows and brace for the fall,
|
All along now,
|
Sing it along
|
|
(Refrain)
|
Swallow your stars,
|
Drink deep and long
|
Pulled from the embers send your regards
|
All along now,
|
Say it along
|
