Nights Become Days
(专辑: England Keep My Bones - 2011)
We soared in the
dawn from the
roof of the
bar When nights become days then you've gone too far We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the
day Peace in London in summertime is great, On days like this I
feel like I
can escape and things that I've done and mistakes that I've made. I
can wash it all away We bathed like swimmers in the
morning sun, and waiting for our night to end We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again We started out curious, it started out fun We smoked in the
woods when we were young And secretly slipped something under our tongues And danced the
night away But everyone stumbles on old cocaine It burns up the
best, and it burdens the
brain 'Til brown comes and whispers away the
pain and you find you've lost your way We bathed like swimmers in the
morning sun, and waited for our night to end We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again You'd sink in the
river for your death You'd sleep with the
fishes, and draw no breath You'd swallow forever, till nothing's left Take no rest Oh my friend, if you made for the
shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting Just cast your eyes down to the
floor, you'll see us here, we're waiting Don't sink in the
river for your death You can sleep in the
shade, and draw some breath You could start fresh tomorrow, and leave what's left Please draw breath, please draw breath Let's let nights become days So come down kid the
roofs not safe now All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
