Conor Oberst - To All the Lights in the Windows |
| [00:03.00] |
|
| [00:07.92] |
Moses up on the mountainside |
| [00:12.04] |
What a place to meet |
| [00:15.56] |
He brought his pad and his pencil |
| [00:18.49] |
Poured himself some gypsy tea |
| [00:22.89] |
|
| [00:23.81] |
And all the world's multiplicity |
| [00:26.86] |
They turn his brain and his soul to stone |
| [00:31.28] |
He drew his face on a tablet |
| [00:35.35] |
And carried it back home |
| [00:38.80] |
|
| [00:40.86] |
Jesus off in the water |
| [00:45.50] |
Standing on his feet |
| [00:49.32] |
Yeah, that's the thing about charisma |
| [00:52.24] |
It makes everyone believe |
| [00:56.77] |
|
| [00:57.83] |
But there is nothing impossible |
| [01:01.50] |
When I'm with you and when you're with me |
| [01:05.69] |
I got a sad sinking feeling |
| [01:09.91] |
That that can never be |
| [01:13.04] |
|
| [01:14.90] |
But I'm going to do what I can for you |
| [01:19.80] |
I will make a plea |
| [01:23.44] |
To all the lights in the windows |
| [01:27.54] |
The puddles in the streets |
| [01:30.94] |
|
| [01:32.51] |
And all the lovers that you've been teasing |
| [01:35.88] |
From your balcony |
| [01:39.60] |
May they carry you far from my memory |
| [01:45.23] |
|
| [01:48.64] |
Solomon heard a protest |
| [01:52.48] |
From the lower court |
| [01:56.22] |
Reached in his ear for a silver dollar |
| [02:00.23] |
Just like he'd done before |
| [02:03.63] |
|
| [02:04.54] |
He tossed it high |
| [02:06.59] |
Said that wisdom's fickle |
| [02:08.54] |
And chance is God's retort |
| [02:12.22] |
And handed them a sentence |
| [02:15.60] |
It was death by Trojan horse |
| [02:19.53] |
|
| [02:22.09] |
Pharoah woke from a bad dream |
| [02:25.48] |
Splashed some water on his face |
| [02:30.10] |
When it's a matter of nightmares you had |
| [02:34.44] |
Better ask a slave |
| [02:37.54] |
|
| [02:38.54] |
And he may tell you a famine's coming |
| [02:42.31] |
Or he may look away |
| [02:45.93] |
If he's kind then return it |
| [02:49.94] |
Let him lick your plate |
| [02:53.26] |
|
| [02:55.59] |
But I'm going to do what I can for you |
| [03:00.55] |
I will make a plea |
| [03:04.06] |
To all the birds in the chimneys |
| [03:08.22] |
The whales up on the beach |
| [03:11.42] |
|
| [03:12.38] |
And all the footsteps that you've been hearing |
| [03:16.31] |
Like a timpani |
| [03:19.76] |
May they carry you far from your enemies |
| [03:25.89] |
|
| [03:43.54] |
But I'm going to do what I can for you |
| [03:48.24] |
I will make a plea |
| [03:51.72] |
To all the lights in the windows |
| [03:55.96] |
The puddles in the streets |
| [03:59.06] |
|
| [04:00.06] |
And all the hours that you've been sitting |
| [04:04.20] |
At your vanity |
| [04:07.68] |
May they carry you far from your misery |
| [04:14.92] |
May they carry you far |
| [04:19.21] |
|
| [04:20.11] |
Jesus off in the water |
| [04:23.27] |
Standing on his feet |
| [04:27.56] |
Yeah, that's the thing about charisma |
| [04:31.68] |
It makes everyone believe |
| [04:35.13] |
|
| [04:36.09] |
That there is nothing impossible |
| [04:39.60] |
When I'm with you and when you're with me |
| [04:43.74] |
I got a sad sinking feeling |
| [04:48.55] |
I got a sad sinking feeling |
| [04:52.24] |
I got a sad sinking feeling |
| [04:54.57] |
That will never be |
| [04:57.50] |
|
