cherbourg

Singer:beirut

and a fall from you

is a long way down

i've found a better way out

and a fall from here

is a long way down

i know a better way out

well it's been a long time

since i've seen you smile

gambled away my fright

till the morning lights shine

it's been a long time

since i've seen you smile

gambled away my fright

till the morning lights shine

sunday morning

only fog on the limbs

i called it again

what do you know

and i filled our days

with cards and gin

you're alight again

my dear

i will lead the way

oh

lead the way when i know

and i'll sleep away

i'll sweep away what i don't

well seize the way

oh

seize the way

no

i won't

i will lead the way

oh

lead the day when i know
