Snow Patrol - Dark Roman Wine lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I will hang on the hook of your splendor<br>

As the night rolls us up in its arms<br>

And the square of your thumbs and your fingers<br>

Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm<br>

<br>

I know it's late but I can't help but think here<br>

That the day hasn't shown all its cards<br>

Now it's out to the stars of the ocean<br>

Let's not retrace our steps to the car<br>

<br>

Picking out all the stars that we like<br>

Between finger and thumb<br>

You laugh as you pass me the night<br>

As if it's too fragile to hold<br>

And I hold it so close to my chest<br>

With your hands in my hands<br>

You say this is just how we'll rest <br>

Until light turns to sound<br>

<br>

Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver<br>

Like the wings of the last bird to leave<br>

For the south for the heat for no reason<br>

I watch as they fly for sheer joy<br>

<br>

The wind shakes the branches above us<br>

And the car shaved the ground at our backs <br>

But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams<br>

Makes the cold just a word, just a sound<br>

<br>

Picking out all the stars that we like<br>

Between finger and thumb<br>

You laugh as you pass me the night<br>

As if it's too fragile to hold<br>

And I hold it so close to my chest<br>

With your hands in my hands<br>

You say this is just how we'll rest <br>

Until the light turns to sound<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
