Not Tonight

(الألبوم: Sideways To New Italy - 2020)

[Fran Keaney:]
Every Saturday, I wait for the footfalls in the hall
Mother Mary at the wings and the ocean is upon us
Still wanna still run nowhere out here, nothing moves at all
Wood smoke, Joan and Quran, we light up by the loading sun

[Tom Russo:]
Every night, I count the cracks up on the backroom wall
Fall into the fault line when I reach across to you

[Fran Keaney:]
'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no else around
I'm slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down, oh

Gemstone, I remember when the spark went flat
Wafer thin and you were singing in your midnight black

[Tom Russo:]
Every night, I count the cracks up on the backroom wall
Fall into the fault line when I reach across to you

[Fran Keaney:]
'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no else around
I'm slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down, oh

I stand at ceremony while the ship sinks
I put the iceberg in my tall drink
I'm waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talking 'bout the war at the hotel
I stand at ceremony while the ship sinks
I put the iceberg in my tall drink
I'm waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talking 'bout the war through the night
Seems like they're all coming down or leaving
There'll be nothing for no one to believe in

'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no else around
I'm slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down, oh
