Slowly Goes The Night

Slowly Goes The Night Darling, that morning you chose to go (?) my boots and clothes you're diggin' my cards, stolen my cash, even my 500 dolars souit (?) and I just laid there watching the sun fallin' down from the skye not wanting to open the letter, but opened it anyway, seein' those two words: Lover, lover, goodbye. So slowly goes the night. Next to me lays your body planed like the map of some forbidden land. I trace the ghosts of your bones with my trembling hand. Dark is my night and darker is my day yeah I must've been blind Out of my mind i never never saw the warning signs. How goes it? It goes lonely, it goes slowly. So slowly goes the night. Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights. I watch the moon get flayed anew, until the moon becomes the skinning tool I send the skins of my sins out to cover and comfort you. I know of a Heaven and honey I know of a Hell yeah I hang my head, i toss in my bed i'll never never forget the words you said: "One evening, I'm leaving" And I laughed and checked her breathing and said: "Darling, go slowly through the night." O baby, I feel the heal of time, and it hurts. I wake to find you sitting right there cutting tangels out of your hair singing a song that's all wrong. Hey, but that's alright, I don't care. O darling forgive me for all your misery yeah I'm trying to embrace an empty space and your song that slowely slowely fades. Where goes it? it goes some place it goes somewhere where it's lonely. And black as the night come back, darling, and put things right, put things right. I hang my head and cry cry cry Darling, all night I try to cease on a reason for this mad mad season. The nights, they are so long now I can't remember it being light. Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like but only sleep, dear, only sleep brings you back to life yeah I hang my head. I toss and I sweat I never never never can forget How goes it? Well I'm going, but slowly slowly going And we both know that it's gonna be alright. But it ain't you who has to cry cry cry. Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights since you left my side side side ...
