Beirut 2집 - The Flying Club Cup (2007) by Beirut (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well it`s been a long time, long time now
since I`ve seen you smile.
And I`ll gamble away my fright.
And I`ll gamble away my time.
And in a year, a year or so
this will slip into the sea
Well, it`s been a long time, long time now
since I`ve seen you smile

Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes

All I want is the best for our lives my dear
And you know my wishes are sincere
What's to say, all the days I cannot bear

A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang
About a Sunday smile, and we felt clean

We burnt to the ground, left a view to admire
Buildings aside, church of white
We burnt to the ground, left a grave to admire
Hills reach for the sky, reach the church of white

A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang
About a Sunday smile, and we felt clean

In the hall I heard your faints falling
your trial and my corrections made

You have all the prayers of my loose heart.
You have all the prayers of my

No I was not there on the church stairs.
The wind in my hair, a flood through my tear
No I was not there on the church stairs.
The wind in my hair, a flood through my tear

Me, I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me, I wanted, I wanted the fire in line
Me, I wanted, I wanted the right time
Me, I wanted, I wanted the fire in line

A plague in the workhouse, a plague on the poor
Now I'll beat on my drum 'til I'm dead
Yesterday, a fever, tomorrow, St. Peter
I'll beat on my drum until then.

But what melody will lead my lover from his bed?
What melody will see him in my arms again?

Set fire to foundation and burn out the station
You'll never get nothing of mine
The pane of my window will flicker and billow
I won't leave a stitching behind

But what melody will lead my lover from his bed?
What melody will see him in my arms again?

I'll sing of the walls of the well and the house at the top of the hill
I'll sing of the bottles of wine that we left on our old windowsill
I'll sing of the years you will spend getting sadder and older
Oh love, and the cold, the oncoming cold

Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
And I could not stay for I believed them
Left for the lights always in season
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season

Time travels to know
Your secret life
In your mausoleum

And Berlin is
So ugly in the morning light
But with them, I could never feel so right

And a fall from you
is a long way down
I've found a better way out

And a fall from here
is a long way down
I know a better way out

Well it's been a long time
since I've seen you smile
Gambled away my fright
Till the morning lights shine

It's been a long time
since I've seen you smile
Gambled away my fright
Till the morning lights shine

Sunday morning
only fog on the limbs
I called it again
what do you know

And I filled our days
with cards and gin
You're alight again, my dear

I will lead the way,
Oh, lead the way when I know
And I'll sleep away,
I'll sweep away what I don't

Well seize the way,
Oh, seize the way, no, I won't
I will lead the way,
Oh, lead the day when I know

All these saints that I move without
I lose without a name
All these saints, they move without
They moved throughout again
Well, all these places will lose without
Will lose without a name

I built my house of reeds upon a marsh in Elise
My father was released a day's walk from San Denise
We buried him beneath the bone-white sands of San Denise

Silence of an airborne night push high above the roof
Daughters of the Red lights blind the icy works of art
The city lights and restless nights go once upon the Lord
You and I will lie beside the fire sparked from boards

It's yours
