Elbow - The Night Will Always Win lyrics

I throw this to the wind But what if I was right Well, did you trust your noble dreams And gentle expectations To the mercy of the night? The night will always win The night has darkness on its side I throw this to the wind I miss your stupid face I miss your bad advice I try to clothe your bones With scratchy super eights Exaggerated stories and old tunes But never by the moon And not the state I'm in The night will always win I throw this to the wind But what if I was right Well, did you trust your noble dreams And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night The night will always win The night has darkness on its side I've thrown this to the wind I miss your stupid face I miss your bad advice I tried to clothe your bones with scratches Super 8s, exaggerated stories and old tunes But never by the moon But never the state that I'm in The night will always win
