Roman Candle - Early Aubade lyrics

I'd like to thank all of the stars just for shining out tonight Like a hundred scattered eyes in the aether I know that it ain't normal thanking stars but it ain't normal seeing stars Outshine the London streetlights either So make up your old bed and check the drawers for clothes Cause everything outside the world is telling us it's time it's to go I could wish against the dawn of day, sit and wish that we could stay In this room we could wait till the tears come Oh but that don't work for me and you doing things the way we do It'd be a conch shell stuck to our eardrum With every pa**ing minute as a faint heard roar Of a rolling ocean talking about some road we'd never seen before I've often wondered about a room, about these four walls standing Keeping better folks than us from the cold rain Wondering if every joke that's told, every cigarette that's rolled Every song sung, sinks in the wood grain If every whisper on the floor and every christmas carol Saturates the surface like the whiskey soaking into a barrel Now If I could I'd pull them down every wall by the panel And I'd build a tree in our back garden Maybe we could sit beneath it naked reading Paradise Lost While the green leaves color and harden But watch now how the sun is gathering in the blinds And the time is coming quick for you and me to leave this big old room behind Now when the roses bloom this year and our soul's up in our ears With some newer music sung in a strange place Oh and all the songs will move through us, giving music to the thrush And every trash can alley a new face We'll let them linger to their end and watch them go without grieving Cause that music as it moves, will let you understand it best when it's leaving And the last thing we'll leave is a love song for this vacant room Sunk in the walls, and trapped like the ocean enshelled - with everything else we ever exhaled
