farewell transmission - glen hansard lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the whole place is dark
every light on this side of the town
suddenly it all went down
now we’ll all be brothers of
fossil fodder of the sun
now we’ll all be sisters of
the fossil blood of the moon
someone must have set ’em up

[verse 2]
now they’ll be working in the cold grey rock
now they’ll be working in the hot mill steam
now they’ll be working in the concrete
in the sirens and the silences now
all the great set up hearts
all at once start to beat

[verse 3]
after tonight if you don’t want this to be
a secret out of the past
i will resurrect it
i’ll have a good go at it
i’ll streak his blood across my beak
dust my feathers with his ash
feel his ghost breathing down my back

[hook]
i will try, i know whatever i try
i will be gone, but not forever
i will try, i know whatever i try
i will be gone, but not forever

[verse 4]
the real truth about it is no one gets it right
the real truth about it is we’re all supposed to try
there ain’t no end to the sands i’ve been trying to cross
the real truth about it is, my life’s no better off
i’ve got the map, but what if it’s lost

[hook]
we will try, i know whatever we will try
we will be gone, but not forever
we will try, i know whatever we will try
we will be gone, but not forever

[verse 5]
the real truth about it is there ain’t no end to the desert i will cross
i’ve really known it all along

[bridge]
mama here comes midnight, with the dead moon in its jaws
must be the big star about to fall
mama here comes midnight, with the full moon in its jaws
must be the big star about to fall

[outro]
long dark blues
i’ll go where
long dark blues
big star is falling
long dark blues
i’ll go where
long dark blues
through the static and the distance
long dark blues
a farewell transmission
long dark blues
listen
long dark blues
listen
long dark blues
listen
long dark blues
listen
