The Mad Flight - Evensong lyrics

The Mad Flight - Evensong

I dreamed your dream, I shone the sun

And needn’t need another one

But O, my sweet, what have you done?

Now our marriage celibate

How we made a hell of it

And all the day live-long

We sing our evensong

We sing… Ah… O…

I wanted you back

Inside these broken arms

To sing the song unsung

Until we come round again

Is there an airbag on your side?

May we our leavings synchronize?

I’ve hunted low, have hunted high

To keep not one of us alive

So torch the candles, kill the day

Lock a door and let’s away

And if the night burns overlong

Sing our leaving song

Sing… Ah… O…

I’m lying in wait

Beneath your bridal bed

To climb inside your head

Until we come round again

But I’m blinding you, babe

With flowers and venom

To every other one

Until you come round again

O… Ah…
