what this night is for

Singer:damien rice

she's got a place within the woods

where she swings near the house in the trees

she's got a way with animals

and invites me along to get free

there's an army of men who'd shoot for her

even goddesses watch when she moves

her friends get us high and something opens up the sky

and fills us with nothing to lose

oh and we've never been in this place before

no

not as it is right now

and we may never know what this night is for

so for now we'll just sit around

he's got a way of lingering

like a ghost that just won't go away

he's got a place within the wind

he's around but i know he won't stay

there's an army of stars that crash the night

they were burning but still it was cold

so we dared the gods to come and sit and talk with us

we were bruised

we were stilled

we were bold

oh and we've never been in this place before

no

not as it is right now

right now

and we may never know what this night is for

so for now we'll just sit around

yeah

for now we'll just sit around

oh 'cause we've never been in this place before

no

not as it is right now

right now

and we may never know what this life and love

and living is for

so for now

we'll just sit around

yeah

for now we'll just sit around
