Cave Nick Slowly Goes The Night Lyrics

Slowly Goes The Night Lyrics

Lover, lover, goodbye
So slowly goes the night
I trace the print of your
body with my hand
Like the map of some forbidden land
I trace the ghosts
of your bones
With my trembling hand
Dark is my night
But darker is my
day yeah
I must've been blind
Out of my mind
Not to read the warning
signs
How goes it?
It goes lonely
Goes slowly

So slowly goes
the night
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
I watch the moon get flayed
anew
Until the moom becomes the skinning tool
I send the skins of my sins
out to cover and comfort you
I know of a Heaven
And honey I know of a Hell
yeah
I hang my head
In my bed
And remember what you said
"One
evening, I'm leaving"
And I laughed and checked her breathing
And said
darling

Go slowly through the knight
O baby, I feel the heal of
time
I wake to find you sitting here
Cutting tangels out of your
hair
Singing a song that's all wrong
Hey, but that's alright, I don't
care
O darling forgive me
For all the misery yeah
I embrace an empty
space
And your laughing song it fades
Where goes it?
It goes some
place
Where it's lonely

And black as the night
Come back, darling
and put things right
I hang my head and cry cry cry
Darling, all night I
try
To cease on a reason for this mad mad season
The nights, they are so
long now
I can't remember it being light
Call it sleep, call it death,
call it what you like
But only sleep, dear
Only sleep brings you back to
life yeah
I hang my head
I toss and I sweat
I never never can
forget
How goes it?
I'm going, but slowly slowly going
And we both
know that it's gonna be alright

But it ain't you who has to cry cry
cry
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
Since you left my side side side
