Andrew Bird - Night Sky lyrics

rate me

Sun is a wave like a wave on the ocean.

Moon plays the ocean like a violin,

Pushing and pulling from shore to shore.

Biggest melody I never heard before.

If I were the night sky,

Here’s my lullaby.

Lullaby to leave by falling night.

What if we hadn’t been born at the same time?

What if you’re seventy five and I were nine?

Would I come and visit you,

Bring you cookies in an old folks home?

Would you be there alone?

When the late summer lightening fires off in your arms

Will I remember to breathe? No, I’ll never will, no.

And the fire could convince you that I mean you no harm.

Just wanna show you how not to need.

What if I were a night sky?

Here’s my lullaby,

Lullaby to leave by falling night.

[whistles]

What if we hadn’t been each other at the same time?

Would you tell me all the stories

From when you were young and in your prime?

Would I rock you to sleep?

Would you tell me all the secrets you don’t need to keep?

Would I still miss you?

Sun is a wave like a wave on the ocean.

Moon plays the ocean like a violin,

Pushing and pulling from shore to shore.

Biggest melody I never heard before.

If I were the night sky,

Here’s my lullaby,

Lullaby to leave by falling night.
