lyrics

Apparitions of the leaves' path
Skeletons of trees collapse
With nothing more to say
Darling, denim coated, wondering
How could I compare thee to the summer
In the evening of the autumn apple’s sway?

How I sought
When September hits your skin like holy water
And August sins forgot
Oh, August sins forgot
Love is patient, love is kind even when I am not

Look at the sky
And don’t ask why it lingers on
Lesser men have suffered greater, stronger-armed
Listen to the calm
Absolution is her pawn
Carry on the night song
Carry on the night song
The night song

From this cliffside
In the open ocean meantime
You vapid vacance soft and wide
Swallowed in its grave
As the crest caves
Overpaint a thinly veiled face
On naked lips a question
All for one or all for naught or all for vanity in vain?

How I fought
For a fortress in the sand
For love forever lost
But turn with the tide
Behold the helplessness inside
A hollow force that's swallowed mountains more than you could climb
Listen to the calm
Absolution is her pawn
Carry on the night song
Carry on the night song
The night song

Open arms tick
The rising toll of hours swift
These shining souls of ours sift fast
Attrition from decay
Darling
Won’t you set the meter running
Won’t you tell me tales of beauty
In my dying hours
Separate the black and white from grey
How I want
For a host of second chances
Wrapped in second thoughts

Look at the sky
And don’t ask why it lingers on
Lesser men have suffered greater, stronger-armed
Listen to the calm
Absolution is her pawn
Carry on the night song
Carry on the night song
The night song
