New Pornographers, The - Adventures in solitude lyrics

rate me

Balancing on

One wounded wing

Circling the edge

Of the neverending

The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door

More than begin

But less than forget

But spirits born

From the not happened yet

Gathering there to pay off a debt brought back from the wars

We thought we lost you (x3)

Welcome back

Sleeping for years

Pick through what is left

Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth

From the rainwater well

Deep as a secret nobody knows

Less than forget

But more than begun

These adventures in solitude never done

To the names of our wounds

We send the same blood back from the wars

We thought we lost you (x3)

It will all come back

I know you want to

Work for

Wait for

Want more

And that it’s comin’ at a bad time

Some cold place

Heartless ways

For all we know

I know you need to

Breathe through

Come back

Come to

But it’s comin’ at a bad time

Some hard (?)

Tangled day

For all we know

I know you want to

Work for

Wait for

Want more

And that’s comin’ at a bad time

Some cold race

Heartless ways

For all we know

I know you want to

Breathe through

Come back

Come too

But it’s comin’ at a bad time

Old scarred face

Survivor’s guilt

For all we know
