lyrics

Can I rest my wings in your neighbourhood
I’m a traveled man and well misunderstood
While the kids arrange little piles of dirt
Can I leave you boxes of unrequited words

Sleep away daylight in all its splendid greed
Slip into night time and prowling the streets
Why don’t you come with me out to the rocky beach
I saw a stranded whale there disappear

I’m a piece of art ascending without sound
Can you keep me real can you tie me to the ground
When the pistol goes I’m flying with the birds
Drowning all your sorrows in unrequited words

Sleep away daylight in all its splendid greed
Slip into night time and prowling the streets
Why don’t you come with me out to the rocky beach
I saw a stranded whale there disappear

Daylight
Sleep away daylight
Why don’t you come with me out to the rocky beach
I saw a stranded whale there
Sleep away daylight in all its splendid greed
Slip into night time and prowling the streets
Why don’t you come with me out to the rocky beach
I saw a stranded whale there disappear disappear
