Sour Times lyrics - The Civil Wars
(originally by Portishead)
To pretend no one can find the fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes courtesies that, I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief that fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye, end the bows, no need to lie enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Am I what am I?
Because all I have left is my memories of yesterday, the sour time
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
After time the bitter taste of innocence descent or race
Scattered seed, buried lives, mysteries you learned disguised
Revolve circumstance will decide
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
To pretend no one can find the fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes courtesies that, I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief that fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye, end the bows, no need to lie enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Am I what am I?
Because all I have left is my memories of yesterday, the sour time
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
After time the bitter taste of innocence descent or race
Scattered seed, buried lives, mysteries you learned disguised
Revolve circumstance will decide
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Because nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Between The Bars lyrics - The Civil Wars
Drink up baby
Stay up all night
The things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
They push, shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby
Look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keeping the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Stay up all night
The things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
They push, shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby
Look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keeping the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Talking In Your Sleep lyrics - The Civil Wars
(originally by The Romantics)
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things you're dreamin' about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know that you sleep in the spotlight?
And all your dreams you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things you're dreamin' about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know that you sleep in the spotlight?
And all your dreams you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
The One That Got Away lyrics - The Civil Wars
I never meant to get us in this deep
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little game
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me
When I was staying just out of your reach
Begging for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me
Got away from me
Before anybody has to bleed
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one
Oh, I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one that got away
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little game
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me
When I was staying just out of your reach
Begging for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me
Got away from me
Before anybody has to bleed
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one
Oh, I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one that got away
I Had Me A Girl lyrics - The Civil Wars
I had me a girl
Who taught me those things
A young man should know
Down, down on my knees
I’d beg and I’d plead
To learn a little bit more
Oh that woman taught me to pray
I saw Heaven every day
Lord, she could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a boy
Who buttoned me down
Drew me a line
He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could be
Showed me the light
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways
Lord, he could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a girl
Like cigarette smoke
She came and she went
I slipped through his hands
To my back door man
Under his chin
Oh that woman taught me to pray
But for all her wandering ways
She could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
Who taught me those things
A young man should know
Down, down on my knees
I’d beg and I’d plead
To learn a little bit more
Oh that woman taught me to pray
I saw Heaven every day
Lord, she could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a boy
Who buttoned me down
Drew me a line
He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could be
Showed me the light
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways
Lord, he could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a girl
Like cigarette smoke
She came and she went
I slipped through his hands
To my back door man
Under his chin
Oh that woman taught me to pray
But for all her wandering ways
She could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
Same Old Same Old lyrics - The Civil Wars
I wanna leave you
I wanna lose us
I wanna give up
But I won’t
I wanna miss this
I want a heartache
I wanna run away
But I won’t
‘Cause do I love you

And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this

I’m gonna cross the line
And make you wake up
‘cause you won’t

I’m gonna say it
If you won’t
Do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old

Dust To Dust lyrics - The Civil Wars
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
Eavesdrop lyrics - The Civil Wars
I don’t want to talk right now
I just want your arms wrapped around
Me in this moment
Before it runs out
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no say it ain’t so
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Just hold me
I can’t pull you closer than this
It’s just you and the moon on my skin
Oh, who says it ever has to end
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no say it ain’t so
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Just hold
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
I just want your arms wrapped around
Me in this moment
Before it runs out
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no say it ain’t so
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Just hold me
I can’t pull you closer than this
It’s just you and the moon on my skin
Oh, who says it ever has to end
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no say it ain’t so
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Let’s let the stars watch
Let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop
I don’t care
For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Just hold
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Just hold me
Devil's Backbone lyrics - The Civil Wars
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?
I’ve fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?
I’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like you
He’s raised on the edge of the devil’s backbone
Oh I just wanna take him home
Oh I just wanna take him home
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he’s somewhere between
A hangman’s knot, and three mouths to feed
There wasn’t a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh he did what he had to do
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I’ll shoulder the load, and I’ll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not
He’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve got
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me
I’ve fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?
I’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like you
He’s raised on the edge of the devil’s backbone
Oh I just wanna take him home
Oh I just wanna take him home
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he’s somewhere between
A hangman’s knot, and three mouths to feed
There wasn’t a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh he did what he had to do
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I’ll shoulder the load, and I’ll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not
He’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve got
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me
From This Valley lyrics - The Civil Wars
Oh the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for its mother
May you hold me in your grace
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh Jesus, carry me
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for its mother
May you hold me in your grace
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh Jesus, carry me
Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
Tell Mama lyrics - The Civil Wars
You thought you'd found, found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you’ve been misused
Talk to me, I’ll do what you choose
I want you to…
Tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama
And I’ll make everything alright
That girl you had didn’t have no sense
She wasn’t worth all the time you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors
And now that same man is wearing your clothes
Tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama
And I’ll make everything alright
She'd embarrass you anywhere
She’d let everybody know she didn’t care
But give me a chance, I’m beggin’ you
And I just wanna take care, take care of you
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama and I'll make everything
I'll make everything,
I'll make everything alright
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you’ve been misused
Talk to me, I’ll do what you choose
I want you to…
Tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama
And I’ll make everything alright
That girl you had didn’t have no sense
She wasn’t worth all the time you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors
And now that same man is wearing your clothes
Tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama
And I’ll make everything alright
She'd embarrass you anywhere
She’d let everybody know she didn’t care
But give me a chance, I’m beggin’ you
And I just wanna take care, take care of you
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama and I'll make everything
I'll make everything,
I'll make everything alright
Oh, Henry lyrics - The Civil Wars
Oh the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
Or so it seems
Got a wedding band
In the name of a wandering man
I love the best I can
Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been sayin
You been runnin' around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
Boy if you're smart
You'll know you'll only have my heart
'til death do us part
Oh you and I both know
That at the end of that forbidden road
There's a six-foot hole
Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been sayin
You been runnin' around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
When we wed, we said forever ever and a day
The whole town heard you promise to be true
So boy you're gonna only give your gypsy heart to me
If it's the last thing you do
Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been sayin
You been runnin' around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
Oh one more grave in this town
Oh the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
Everywhere but under me
Or so it seems
Got a wedding band
In the name of a wandering man
I love the best I can
Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been sayin
You been runnin' around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
Boy if you're smart
You'll know you'll only have my heart
'til death do us part
Oh you and I both know
That at the end of that forbidden road
There's a six-foot hole
Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been sayin

Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need

Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
Don't you know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
Oh one more grave in this town
Oh the grass is green

Disarm lyrics - The Civil Wars
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what i choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what i choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
Sacred Heart lyrics - The Civil Wars
Quand je marche dans la rue
La rue vers le Sacré-Cœur
Je me souviens des promesses
Au nom de l’amour
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
Tu peux me tenir
Jusqu’à ce que le soleil se cache
Et embrasse-moi doucement
Jusqu’à ce qu’il revienne
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
Tu prends peut-être du retard
Tu as peut-être raté ton train
Tu ne peux peut-être pas me pardonner
Les ombres grandissent
Et les foules s’effacent
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
La rue vers le Sacré-Cœur
Je me souviens des promesses
Au nom de l’amour
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
Tu peux me tenir
Jusqu’à ce que le soleil se cache
Et embrasse-moi doucement
Jusqu’à ce qu’il revienne
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
Tu prends peut-être du retard
Tu as peut-être raté ton train
Tu ne peux peut-être pas me pardonner
Les ombres grandissent
Et les foules s’effacent
Je vais t’attendre là
Viendras-tu pour moi?
Je vais t’attendre là
Seulement toi
D'arline lyrics - The Civil Wars
D’Arline, hope this finds you well
There’s so much I’m dying to tell, but oh
That’s how it goes
Little things left unsaid
That I can’t keep in my head but oh
Just so you know
You’ll always be the only one
Always be the only one
D’Arline, what do I do now?
Can’t live with you or without, but oh
That’s how it goes
I could get over you
But please don’t ask me to
Just so you know
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re not
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re gone
You always said you want me to be happy
But happiness was having you here with me
You’ll always be the one that’s standing in my way
And that’s okay
You’ll always be the only one
You’ll always be the only one
D’Arline, if I only knew
Where to send this letter to
There’s so much I’m dying to tell, but oh
That’s how it goes
Little things left unsaid
That I can’t keep in my head but oh
Just so you know
You’ll always be the only one
Always be the only one
D’Arline, what do I do now?
Can’t live with you or without, but oh
That’s how it goes
I could get over you
But please don’t ask me to
Just so you know
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re not
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re gone
You always said you want me to be happy
But happiness was having you here with me
You’ll always be the one that’s standing in my way
And that’s okay
You’ll always be the only one
You’ll always be the only one
D’Arline, if I only knew
Where to send this letter to
Long Time Gone lyrics - The Civil Wars (with T Bone Burnett)
Look out, Ma
Look out, Pa
Look at that horizon
Somethin's out there kickin' up dust
Oh, it's comin' fast
Look out, Sister
Look out, Brother
River's gonna be risin'
Somethin' we've been waiting for
Oh, it's here at last
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
Let's all sing
Let's all dance
Stomp our feet in that red clay
Come on out of those old brown fields
Watch 'em turn into gold
Watch 'em turn into gold
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
The wait is over
The winds have changed
And not a moment too soon
We've all done prayed for a single drop of rain
And now a storm's comin' through
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
(Ooh) It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
Look out, Pa
Look at that horizon
Somethin's out there kickin' up dust
Oh, it's comin' fast
Look out, Sister
Look out, Brother
River's gonna be risin'
Somethin' we've been waiting for
Oh, it's here at last
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
Let's all sing
Let's all dance
Stomp our feet in that red clay
Come on out of those old brown fields
Watch 'em turn into gold
Watch 'em turn into gold
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
The wait is over
The winds have changed
And not a moment too soon
We've all done prayed for a single drop of rain
And now a storm's comin' through
It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone
(Ooh) It's been a long time comin'
It's been a long time gone

Finding North lyrics - The Civil Wars
Draw me a map that I can hold
Lines that tell me where to go
My head is full of lonely harmonies
And questions no one's asking me
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?
It's not the sky I'm asking for
I'm just having trouble finding north
I've gone as far as I can go
Trying to find something that feels like home
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?
One more sunset runs away
Becomes another yesterday
I'm still waiting
Won't someone wake me up, open these eyes?
Won't someone even try?
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday, someday?
Lines that tell me where to go
My head is full of lonely harmonies
And questions no one's asking me
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?
It's not the sky I'm asking for
I'm just having trouble finding north
I've gone as far as I can go
Trying to find something that feels like home
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?
One more sunset runs away
Becomes another yesterday
I'm still waiting
Won't someone wake me up, open these eyes?
Won't someone even try?
Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday, someday?
20 Years lyrics - The Civil Wars
There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope
There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no secondhand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize
In the meantime I'll be waiting
For twenty years, twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope
There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no secondhand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize
In the meantime I'll be waiting
For twenty years, twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
I've Got This Friend lyrics - The Civil Wars
I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away
Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along
I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only
Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away
Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along
I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only
Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
C'est La Mort lyrics - The Civil Wars
Swan dive down eleven stories high
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me
Go get lost where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes but darlin' if you please,
Don't go without me.
C'est la vie, C'est la mort.
(Such is life, such is death.)
You and me,
Forevermore.
Let's walk down the road that has no end
Steal away where only angels tread
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart to take me when you leave
Don't go
Please don't go
Don't go without me
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me
Go get lost where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes but darlin' if you please,
Don't go without me.
C'est la vie, C'est la mort.
(Such is life, such is death.)
You and me,
Forevermore.
Let's walk down the road that has no end
Steal away where only angels tread
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart to take me when you leave
Don't go
Please don't go
Don't go without me
To Whom It May Concern lyrics - The Civil Wars
Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you are to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
I missed you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
The way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste
I missed you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
How I do
I've missed you but I haven't met you
Oh how I miss you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently
In my arms is where you are to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
I missed you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
The way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste
I missed you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
How I do
I've missed you but I haven't met you
Oh how I miss you but I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently
Poison & Wine lyrics - The Civil Wars
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I'd still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will [x7]
I always will [x5]
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I'd still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will [x7]
I always will [x5]
My Father's Father lyrics - The Civil Wars
I hear something hanging on the wind
I see black smoke up around the bend
I got my ticket
I'm going to go home
The leaves have changed a time or two
Since the last time the train came through
I got my ticket and I'm going to go home
My father's father's blood is on the track
A sweet refrain drifts in from the past
I got my ticket and I'm going to go home
The winding roads that led me here
Burn like coal and dry like tears
So here's my hope
My tired soul
So here's my ticket
I want to go home
Home
Home
I see black smoke up around the bend
I got my ticket
I'm going to go home
The leaves have changed a time or two
Since the last time the train came through
I got my ticket and I'm going to go home
My father's father's blood is on the track
A sweet refrain drifts in from the past
I got my ticket and I'm going to go home
The winding roads that led me here
Burn like coal and dry like tears
So here's my hope
My tired soul
So here's my ticket
I want to go home
Home
Home
Barton Hollow lyrics - The Civil Wars
I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Girl With The Red Balloon lyrics - The Civil Wars
There's a pub on the south side of town
Time stands still while there's still wine around
She's the one in the calico
The one who's always and never alone
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?
Keep her glass full of cheap champagne
She will tell of the man with no name
Smoke and mirrors have done her in
She's in love and she won't be again
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?
So lovely
So lonely
Floating away
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know?..
Ooh, did she let him go, did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl, she's the girl with the red balloon?
Time stands still while there's still wine around
She's the one in the calico
The one who's always and never alone
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?
Keep her glass full of cheap champagne
She will tell of the man with no name
Smoke and mirrors have done her in
She's in love and she won't be again
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?
So lovely
So lonely
Floating away
Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know?..
Ooh, did she let him go, did the four winds blow him away?
Ooh, does she even know she's the girl, she's the girl with the red balloon?
Falling lyrics - The Civil Wars
Haven't you seen me sleep walking?
'Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh, let me tell you, I am
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Why am I feeling so guilty?
Why am I holding my breath?
Worry 'bout everyone but me
I just keep losing myself
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Won't you read my mind?
Don't you let me lie here
And die here
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Haven't you noticed?
I'm sleepwalking
'Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh, let me tell you, I am
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Why am I feeling so guilty?
Why am I holding my breath?
Worry 'bout everyone but me
I just keep losing myself
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Won't you read my mind?
Don't you let me lie here
And die here
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
Haven't you noticed?
I'm sleepwalking
Forget Me Not lyrics - The Civil Wars
I've been awaiting for you
And you've been awaiting for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Forget me not my dear, my darling
Forget me not my love
I just wanna hold your hand
Hang on every word you say
Let's write a song for us
And sing until we're old and grey
Forget me not my dear, my darling
Forget me not my love
I'm coming home real soon
Please leave a light on for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Yes, you'll be the only one for me
And you've been awaiting for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Forget me not my dear, my darling
Forget me not my love
I just wanna hold your hand
Hang on every word you say
Let's write a song for us
And sing until we're old and grey
Forget me not my dear, my darling
Forget me not my love
I'm coming home real soon
Please leave a light on for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Yes, you'll be the only one for me
Birds Of A Feather lyrics - The Civil Wars
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
He's the one I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
She the sea I'm sinkin' in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses
And all of his men
Couldn't tear us apart
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Like butterflies around a flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
He's the one I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
She the sea I'm sinkin' in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses
And all of his men
Couldn't tear us apart
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Like butterflies around a flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
Billie Jean lyrics - The Civil Wars
(originally by Michael Jackson)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
She said, "I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round"
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do because the lie becomes the truth"
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and plans
Because we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
Do think twice, do think twice
She told my baby, we were dancing still three
Then she looked at me, then showed a photo
My baby cried because his eyes were like mine, oh no
Though we'd dance on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
But she came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon, she called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
She said, "I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round"

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do because the lie becomes the truth"
Billie Jean is not my lover

I Want You Back lyrics - The Civil Wars
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to go and take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
Won't you please let me in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
Trying to live without your love
Is like one long sleepless night
Let me show you boy
That I really know, I know wrong from right
Cause every street you're walking on
You leave tear stains on the ground
Follow boy, I didn't even want
Didn't even want you around
Oh baby give me one more chance
To show you I love you
Won't you please let me in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
Let you go baby
Now that I see you in his arms
Oh now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to go and take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
Won't you please let me in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
Trying to live without your love
Is like one long sleepless night
Let me show you boy
That I really know, I know wrong from right
Cause every street you're walking on
You leave tear stains on the ground
Follow boy, I didn't even want
Didn't even want you around
Oh baby give me one more chance
To show you I love you
Won't you please let me in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
Let you go baby
Now that I see you in his arms
Oh now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
Dance Me To The End Of Love lyrics - The Civil Wars
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
Dance me to your beauty like a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch, be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Oh let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Oh show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
Oh dance me to the wedding now, oh, dance me on and on
And dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, and both of us above
And dance me to the end of love, ooh
Won't you dance me to the end of love
La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
Dance me to your beauty like a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch, be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Oh let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Oh show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
Oh dance me to the wedding now, oh, dance me on and on
And dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, and both of us above
And dance me to the end of love, ooh
Won't you dance me to the end of love
La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
You Are My Sunshine lyrics - The Civil Wars
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive and take all the blame
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Oh, please don't take my sunshine away
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive and take all the blame
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Oh, please don't take my sunshine away
Goodbye Girl lyrics - The Civil Wars
You forgot your grandmother’s scarf
As you walked away that day in the park
I watched you disappear into the city
Smaller and smaller you faded
That’s that
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
I remember that look
The last one you gave me
A kiss on my cheek
As you were leaving
The last thing you said
Was “I’ll see you again”
But we both know we won’t
That’s that
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Never mind how long it lasted
You’re still the best thing
That never happened
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Ooh I’ll move on
Yes I’ll move on
There is no use in chasing
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Never mind how long it lasted
You’re still the best thing
That never happened
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Oh you’re still my goodbye
Goodbye girl
As you walked away that day in the park
I watched you disappear into the city
Smaller and smaller you faded
That’s that
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
I remember that look
The last one you gave me
A kiss on my cheek
As you were leaving
The last thing you said
Was “I’ll see you again”
But we both know we won’t
That’s that
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Never mind how long it lasted
You’re still the best thing
That never happened
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Ooh I’ll move on
Yes I’ll move on
There is no use in chasing
Say goodbye and don’t look back
So long to happy every after
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Never mind how long it lasted
You’re still the best thing
That never happened
You are my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Oh you’re still my goodbye
Goodbye girl
Marionette lyrics - The Civil Wars
You put the words in my mouth
You are the one who spit them right out
Oh, you better wait with me
You pulled a string to my heart
Don’t know where you start
Don’t know where I start
Oh, you cast a spell on me
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, marionette
Dance, dance, dance
Won’t you dance for me
You had me fooled for a while
You were the one that painted that smile
Now it’s beginning to fade
Oh, just keep pulling me
Oh, you are the one who follows my lead
So, all the music plays
Oh, dance, dance, dance
Dance, marionette
Dance, dance, dance
Won't you dance with me
You are the one who spit them right out
Oh, you better wait with me
You pulled a string to my heart
Don’t know where you start
Don’t know where I start
Oh, you cast a spell on me
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, marionette
Dance, dance, dance
Won’t you dance for me
You had me fooled for a while
You were the one that painted that smile
Now it’s beginning to fade
Oh, just keep pulling me
Oh, you are the one who follows my lead
So, all the music plays
Oh, dance, dance, dance
Dance, marionette
Dance, dance, dance
Won't you dance with me
Poison & Wine lyrics - The Civil Wars+
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I'd still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will [x7]
I always will [x5]
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I'd still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will [x7]
I always will [x5]
Go lyrics The Civil Wars
Why do you keep looking out the window?
Is there something left behind or never found?
Mmm do I even want to move?
How, if you knew what I was thinking
I wonder if they even dry a tear
Oh, there's just one way to find out
Go, Go, Go
Did Sirens steal your heart when you were looking?
Where'd you learn to lie the way you do?
Look's like you made up your mind.
I'd have to say I didn't see this coming
But who does?
You won't want to see me standing in the door
So Go, Go, Go
I don't want to hurt you
Do you ever listen?
I don't want to run.
You're not the only one
I don't want to touch you
Eternally I'm broken
Who but we become
Who but we become
How do you care?
They need you
I don't want to
Go, Go, Grow
I don't want to go
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to go
Is there something left behind or never found?
Mmm do I even want to move?
How, if you knew what I was thinking
I wonder if they even dry a tear
Oh, there's just one way to find out
Go, Go, Go
Did Sirens steal your heart when you were looking?
Where'd you learn to lie the way you do?
Look's like you made up your mind.
I'd have to say I didn't see this coming
But who does?
You won't want to see me standing in the door
So Go, Go, Go
I don't want to hurt you
Do you ever listen?
I don't want to run.
You're not the only one
I don't want to touch you
Eternally I'm broken
Who but we become
Who but we become
How do you care?
They need you
I don't want to
Go, Go, Grow
I don't want to go
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to go
Pressing Flowers lyrics - The Civil Wars
Meet me in the garden where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
Meet me on the back porch where ivy climbs
Where they sat on the swing
Soak up the color of the midday sun
While the ocean sings
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
You and I
Well we're just pressing flowers
They're dying
But they're ours
Meet me in a poem of an iron bed
Wipe the dust away
Meet me in the tintypes from long ago
Trace the lines of my face
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
Keep it with you
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
Meet me on the back porch where ivy climbs
Where they sat on the swing
Soak up the color of the midday sun
While the ocean sings
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
You and I
Well we're just pressing flowers
They're dying
But they're ours
Meet me in a poem of an iron bed
Wipe the dust away
Meet me in the tintypes from long ago
Trace the lines of my face
Ooh
Whatever you do
Ooh
Keep it with you
Keep it with you
Tip Of My Tongue lyrics - The Civil Wars
You're a red string tied to my finger
A little love letter I carry with me
You're sunlight
Smoke rings and cigarettes
Outlines and kisses from silverscreens
Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
You own me with whispers like poetry
Your mouth is a melody I memorize
Mmm, so sweet
I hear it echo everwhere I go
Day and night
Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favourite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
The tip of my tongue
Ooh
Mmm
Mmm
Oh
Dear
Never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on
Oh

Dear
Never saw you comin'

A little love letter I carry with me
You're sunlight
Smoke rings and cigarettes
Outlines and kisses from silverscreens
Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
You own me with whispers like poetry
Your mouth is a melody I memorize
Mmm, so sweet
I hear it echo everwhere I go
Day and night
Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favourite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
The tip of my tongue
Ooh

You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue

If I Didn't Know Better lyrics - The Civil Wars
If I didn't know better, I'd hang my hat right there
If I didn't know better, I'd follow you up the stairs
Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear
The horns are blowing louder, the bailiff's drawing near
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you?
If I didn't know better,
But, damn it, I do
There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see you've a lover that's waiting
But, baby, you're right here with me
Oh you might as well be the devil,
Keeping me out past three
Well you're the one with that apple,
So, baby, you can't blame me
Oh, why don't you keep drinking?
Give me one night with you
If I didn't know better,
But, damn it, I do
Baby, I do
Oh baby, you're right here with me
Sweet daddy, you know I do
If I didn't know better, I'd follow you up the stairs
Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear
The horns are blowing louder, the bailiff's drawing near
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you?
If I didn't know better,
But, damn it, I do
There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see you've a lover that's waiting
But, baby, you're right here with me
Oh you might as well be the devil,
Keeping me out past three
Well you're the one with that apple,
So, baby, you can't blame me
Oh, why don't you keep drinking?
Give me one night with you
If I didn't know better,
But, damn it, I do
Baby, I do
Oh baby, you're right here with me
Sweet daddy, you know I do
Kingdom Come lyrics - The Civil Wars
[from "The Hunger Games" soundtrack]
Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide
Somewhere no one else can find
Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
Run fast as you can
No one has to understand
Fly high across the sky from here to kingdom come
Fall back down to where you're from
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, for you
Don't you fret, my dear
(Don't you fret, my dear)
It'll all be over soon
(It'll all be over soon)
I'll be waiting here
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, For you
Run, Run, Run Away
Run, Run, Run Away
Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide
Somewhere no one else can find
Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
Run fast as you can
No one has to understand
Fly high across the sky from here to kingdom come
Fall back down to where you're from
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, for you
Don't you fret, my dear
(Don't you fret, my dear)
It'll all be over soon
(It'll all be over soon)
I'll be waiting here
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, For you
Run, Run, Run Away
Run, Run, Run Away
No Ordinary Love lyrics - The Civil Wars
(originally by Sade)
I gave you all the love I got,
Gave you more than I could give
Gave you love,
I gave you all that I had inside
And you took my love, took my love
Keep crying (Keep crying), keep trying for you.
I Keep trying (I keep trying), I keep crying for you
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love
Oh when you came around you brightened,
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile,
Oh didn't I tell you, all I got to give baby?
I keep crying, I keep trying
Oh I keep trying, keep trying for you
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love oh oh
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love oh oh oh
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love oh oh oh oh
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love, oh oh oh oh oh oh
I gave you all the love I got,
I gave you more than I can give,
Gave you love
I gave you all the love I got,
Gave you more than I could give
Gave you love,
I gave you all that I had inside
And you took my love, took my love
Keep crying (Keep crying), keep trying for you.
I Keep trying (I keep trying), I keep crying for you
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love
This is no ordinary love, no ordinary love
Oh when you came around you brightened,
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile,

Tracks In The Snow lyrics - the civil wars
Whoa, I hear the quiet now
Of paper airplanes falling down
Whoa, the branches of every tree
Bend like a cathedral over me
Down where the river bends, everyone's waiting
But that's not the reason I'm making these tracks in the snow
There's a box in my hands as I go
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold
For you
Whoa, there's a choir upon the wind
Singing old familiar hymns
And my ears they're playing tricks on me
I can almost hear your harmony
Down where the river bends, that's where you're waiting
You are the reason I'm making these tracks in the snow
There's a box in my hands as I go
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold
For you [x2]
Down where the river bends, nobodies waiting
But there's still a reason for making these tracks in the snow
Down at the end of the road
I'll clear a place in the snow
Leave this box wrapped in scarlet and gold
For you [x2]
Of paper airplanes falling down
Whoa, the branches of every tree
Bend like a cathedral over me
Down where the river bends, everyone's waiting
But that's not the reason I'm making these tracks in the snow
There's a box in my hands as I go
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold
For you
Whoa, there's a choir upon the wind
Singing old familiar hymns
And my ears they're playing tricks on me
I can almost hear your harmony
Down where the river bends, that's where you're waiting
You are the reason I'm making these tracks in the snow
There's a box in my hands as I go
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold
For you [x2]
Down where the river bends, nobodies waiting
But there's still a reason for making these tracks in the snow
Down at the end of the road
I'll clear a place in the snow
Leave this box wrapped in scarlet and gold
For you [x2]
