Last night's bug bites burned a memory here Flushing into a scar that lingers Until the end of the year Lights rise, our eyes have adjusting to do Wipe the mud from my filthy feet and I'll do the same for you too Take my hand, watch the sparrows descend In the darkness we have time to pretend Night retreats, we'll get back on our feet Leave the winter behind as we head towards the eve Each day you say: How did we get this far? I saw all of the country moving From the back of your car Damp ground surrounds all the places we run What if we could just float above it? Trading place with the Sun Take my hand, watch the sparrows descend In the darkness we have time to pretend Night retreats, we'll get back on our feet Leave the winter behind as we head towards the eve Take my hand, watch the sparrows descend In the darkness we have time to pretend Night retreats, we'll get back on our feet Leave the winter behind as we head towards the eve Take my hand, watch the sparrows descend In the darkness we have time to pretend Night retreats, we'll get back on our feet Leave the winter behind as we head towards the eve
