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
