St. Vincent and The National ~ Sleep All Summer

[Crooked Fingers Cover]

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
And every time we turn away
It hits me like a tidal wave

I would change for you but baby it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we use 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 rolling
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
But every time we turn away
It surges like a tidal wave

I would change for you but baby, it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we love to suffer
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
The way we sleep al summer
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
