Beirut 1집 - Gulag Orkestar (2006) by Beirut (보컬) on maniadb.com

They call it night,
they call it night
and I call it mine.

Send me now, the winter's over
A light turns out and we are older
The love we've had will turn all over
Going south and we are older

On the one time I told you also
On a night like this you all turn around
no but I, I won't have you anymore
no and I, I can't have you anymore

And some days we're all alone on the banks of the Rhine
And some days all we have was worth while
And some sing dreams of spears chosen once in life
And some days we're all alone on the banks of the Rhine

the times we had
oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
were not all bad
we put our feet just where they had, had to go
never to go

the shattered soul
following close but nearly twice as slow
in my good times
there were always golden rocks to throw
at those who, those who admit defeat too late
those were our times, those were our times

and i will love to see that day
that day is mine
when she will marry me outside with the willow trees
and play the songs we made
they made me so
and i would love to see that day
that day was mine

The lights go on
The lights go off
When things don't feel right
I lie down like a tired dog
Licking his wounds in the shade

When I feel alive
I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world, where the sun sets are all
Breathtaking, breathtaking

what can you do
when the curtain falls

what will you do
when the curtain falls
you'll

left, right

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big game down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big game down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

The lights go on
The lights go off
When things don't feel right
I lie down like a tired dog
Licking his wounds in the shade

When I feel alive
I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world, where the sun sets are all
Breathtaking, breathtaking

Carousels twirl all around excited youth.
I do not mind at all.
Where tonight in a world full of thrills - it can carry me up,
far above it all.

It's a long way down from here to the sound.
Watch the faces go ‘round
to the stars
then the ground.

Ferris wheels carried us away
not so long ago.
Times I've betrayed.
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Well the years they pass by slow
don't they?

It's a long way down from here to the sound.
Watch the faces go ‘round
to the stars
then the ground.
