Midnight Sun

They say the king of birds and the queen of hearts

Wore each other's keys before they called the wedding off

And all the feathers rained down, and the town fell asleep

Pullin' on the poems for the midnight sun

Pullin' on the poems for the midnight sun

Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground)

With every breath (Every breath)

Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside)

Made a shrine of every mess

Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared)

With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)

She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose)

Then he turned to stone

She handed him a rose, then he turned to stone

Then they laid him in the creek, where the river ran dry

To the mouth of wisdom, and the end of doubt

And the woman reappeared with a blank spread smile

Took him by the rose, then he turned to stone

Yeah, she handed him a rose, left him all alone

Well, they lifted the stone (The stone)

And they mapped the stars (The stars)

Brought back the keys (Keys)

And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts)

And the birds returned (The birds)

With songs in their eyes (Their eyes)

With maps to the world (The world)

Never seen

Maps to the world, never seen
