Avett Brothers, The - Closing Night lyrics

rate me

The show was over it's all in the name It never was before but this ain't the same So try to imagine a time and a place Where the enemy won and the hero was slain And poetic justice burns in the minds Of five diying soldiers on the front lines With nobody's singing in nobody's ears No one's disappointed, nobody hears I know a lady, promise her name The price of her visit suffering and pain And we gladly waited and we gladly paid We watched the sun rise, she never came An electric current moves us around We sank to our knees to worship the sound But nobody told us that we'd rise again Imagine a hero unable to win Imagine a hero unable to win
