Nerina Pallot - Longest Memory lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Birthed in a shadow, only truth I can see

On with it's twin memory, roam the night

Rolling down

The queerest thing following it's work

Makes me feel like dying star-naked

Rolling down, rolling down

(Chorus)

And you don't know night

Don't know day

Don't know why you feel this way

But I do somehow, I do somehow

(Verse 2)

See the vocal hymn ain't no friend of mine

Don't knock on my door, I ain't got no time

Ain't they fine? Ain't they fine?

But I swear that I heard this story one time

Bout vision and greatness born in every child

I'm rolling down, tears are rolling down

Rolling down this state(?) of mine

(Verse 3)

??? (I'm no expert, but it sounds like Italian)

Rolling down the streets

Take the burden to the streets

Cuz now that they're gone you'd think we're all free

Slipping the chains of hystory

His tears are rolling down

They're still rolling down

Oh, it's pure and it's perfect and you know what they say

Good boys maketh good men then they go to their graves

Don't leave the fight, don't you give the fight(?)

But the loneliness, oh, the lonelyness

Yeah, the loneliness is the longest memory

It's the longest memory
