Midnight Sun

Song:Midnight Sun

Artist: Iron & Wine, Calexico

Lyrics:John Burns / Joseph G Burns

They say the king of birds

And the queen of hearts

Wore each other\'s keys

Before they called the wedding off

And all the feathers rained down

And the town fell asleep

Pulling on the poems

For the midnight sun

Pulling on the poems

For the midnight sun

Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground)

With every breath (Every breath)

Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside)

Made a shrine of every mess

Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared)

With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)

She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose)

Then he turned to stone

She handed him a rose

And he turned to stone

Then they laid him in the creek

Where the river ran dry

To the mouth of wisdom

And the end of doubt

Then the woman reappeared

With a blank spread smile

Took him by the rose

Then he turned to stone

Yeah, she handed him a rose

Left him all alone

Well, they lifted the stone (The stone)

Then they mapped the stars (The stars)

Brought back the keys (Keys)

And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts)

And the birds returned (The birds)

With songs in their eyes (Their eyes)

With maps to the world (The world)

Never seen

Maps to the world

Never seen
