Crooked Fingers
Текст песни Sleep All Summer

Dignity and Shame LP, Merge Records / 2005

Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean.
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue.
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things.
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street.

Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave.
I would change for you but, babe,
that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man.
Give the ocean what I took from you,
so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again.

Cold ways kill cool lovers,
Strange ways we used each other.
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another.
The way we sleep all summer.
So why won't you fall back in love with me?

Combing over Broken Cross I held on you.
Haunted by the ghost of something new.

Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over.
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes.
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart, to keep a world from caving in.
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue.

Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave.
I would change for you but, babe,
that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man.
Give the ocean what I took from you,
so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again.

Cold ways kill cool lovers,
Strange ways we used each other.
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another.
The way we sleep all summer.
So why won't you fall back in love with me?

Why won't you fall back in love with me?
