robin pecknold - nighttime on holiday lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she dropped the armor over her skin
reached through a mind for words to begin
cooked up a lie to throw to her friends
nighttime on holiday, the moon’s creeping in

[verse 2]
picks at her food and forces a grin
crosses her legs again and again
turns up and over this sacred of kin
nighttime on holiday, the moon’s creeping in

[verse 3]
sleep underneath a chinatown glow
wander the streets that n0body know
sing to the dawn with mercury men
nighttime on holiday, the moon’s creeping in

[chorus 1]
on a st. vincent street
where no one’s innocent to me
she nurses a broken wing

[post-chorus]
through red wine promises
and cheap [?] makeup
she said, “it’s all a dream till you stop and think”

[verse 4]
she left her ring in the city square
watch arabic fountains that shower the air
ready to crumble and take to the wind
nighttime on holiday, the moon’s creeping in

[chorus 2]
on a st. vincent street
where no one’s innocent to me
she grins like a harlequin

[post-chorus]
through red wine promises
and cheap [?] makeup
she said to me, “it’s all a dream till you stop and think”

[verse 5]
one left escaping and one left alone
one left for mystery and one stayed at home
one left a note too soon for its time
nighttime on holiday, the moon’s like a dime

[outro]
on a st. vincent street
