Lyrics
Spoons & Knives
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The demon on my shoulder tells me that it's almost over
Lost and cannot be found
The angel whispers in my ear to repent and be sincere
And take my place in the clouds
But I know you know I won't tell the truth
So don't you bother waiting
There's no way you can save me
I'm telling you that it's no use
Dear brother, is it wise to ignore the whispers from the angels?
There's still time to break through
So clean the spoons and knives before it's time to set the table
Company's coming soon
But I know you won't change anytime soon
So I'll pull up a chair and I will watch you as you stare
At the sun turning into the moon
Just when I thought that the sun was here to stay
The rain washed it away
'Cause even stars they fade away
Long live yesterday
Just when I thought that the sun was here to stay
God took it away.
'Cause even stars they fade away
Long live yesterday
Love live yesterday
