Lyrics
[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall
Not yet your funeral
While we're alive, alive, alive, alive-oh
What can I do to help you hold back tomorrow?
[Verse 1]
Show me your unfinished painting
What bird here were you intending?
No, it's the sun in my eyes
Hey!
Reminds me of a book i've been putting off reading the ending of
Yes, it's later than we think
But not too late of my love let you know
[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall
Not yet your funeral
While we're alive, alive, alive, alive-oh
What can I do to help you hold back tomorrow?
[Verse 2]
Hold tight
Let the daylight deepen
Between us
The sleep of reason
Produces monsters
Go dance in the kitchen with him
You've been his religion and his joy
And it's later than he thinks
But not too late of your love let him know
[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall
Not yet your funeral
While we're alive, alive, alive, alive-oh
What can we do to help you hold back tomorrow?
[Outro]
Hush now, darling
The horseshoe bat ovalling over us
The time is near
Please stop crying
The low sky sighing
Now stay close
The time is near
The badgers huddle in the tree tunnel
I love you too
The time is near
Take this moment
You'll always have home in it
The time is here
