Slowly Goes The Night

Darlin'

That morning you chose to go

(?) My boots and clothes

You're diggin' my cards, stolen my cash

Even my 500 $ suit

And I just laid there watching the sun

Fallin' down from the sky

Not wanting to open the letter

But opened it anyway, seein' those two words

Lover, lover, goodbye

So slowly goes the night

Next to me lays your body planned

Like the map of some forbidden land

I trace the ghosts of your bones

With my trembling hand

Dark is my night

And darker is my day yeah

I must've been blind

Out of my mind

I never never saw the warning signs

How goes it?

It goes lonely

It goes slowly

So slowly goes the night

Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights

I watch the moon get flayed anew

Until the moon becomes the skinning tool

I send the skins of my sins out to cover and comfort you

I know of a heaven

But honey I know of a hell yeah

I hang in my head

I toss in my bed

I'll never never forget the words you said

One evening, I'm leaving (want you to know, I'm leaving)

And I laughed and checked her breathing

And said: Darling

Go slowly through the night

O baby, I feel the heal of time, and it hurts

I wake to find you sitting right there

Cutting tangels out of your hair

Singing a song that's all wrong

Hey, but that's alright, I don't care

O darling I'm sorry

For all your misery yeah

I'm trying to embrace an empty space

And your song that slowely slowely fades

Where goes it?

It goes some place

It goes somewhere where it's lonely

And black as the night

Come back, darlin', and put things right, put things right

I hang my head and cry cry cry

Darling, all night I try

To cease on a reason for this mad mad season

The nights, they are so long now

I can't remember it being light

Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like

But only sleep, dear

Only sleep brings you back to life yeah

I hang in my head

I toss and I sweat

I never never never can forget

How goes it?

Well I'm going, but slowly slowly going

And we both know that it's gonna be alright

But it ain't you who has to cry cry cry

Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights

Since you left my side side side
