blue beard

Singer:band of horses

i used to see the night so anxious

but now i know

the only thing it ever taught me was a grand illusion

that comes and goes

the city blanketed of snow. what if we die

no end and no conclusion. how could you smile

just walk away. well i don't know. i don't know. i met you at the railroad station

now years ago. and something happened on the night i last drank with you in the neon glow. now i don't see you anymore. the midwestern sky

is gray and cold. the sun never shines

but that's alright. and i couldn't find the letters that you wrote me. what did you write? where'd you go

well i don't know. no. take a little time gonna roll the dice

taken for a ride

any normal life will do

too. find another way

try to break the ice

every day and night

the banana peels were true. true.
