[verse] The long knife of the sun rising Up the horizon and into our tired eyes The spell of night is struck down Our second sight is bleeding out [preChorus] Anna, can i come and walk you home? Im not gonna wanna be alone Beaten up when the sunlight comes Bullied cut by the clock on the wall [Chorus] Take the morning and the chlorinous light You can have the afternoon, bury the evening too Give me gathering calm of the night When the day is done and the rest is coming on Under the pitch and the pull of the moon Sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and Bring in the shadows to cover our flaws When the pain is gone, and the rest is coming on [verse 2] You belong out of that uniform Out in the streets when everyone else is asleep See the way the body sways In empty air when theres nobody there, and you dont even care if there is [preChorus 2] Anna can i be to you like that? Cover your shame with a shield of black Cover your body with my trembling hands Have you dancing while i hold them back [Chorus 2] Hold back the morning and her chlorinous light Have at the afternoon, bury the evening too Lets have the gathering calm of the night When the day is done and the rest is coming on Under the pitch and the pull of the moon Sweet silver medicine swim in my temples Bring in the shadows to cover our wounds When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on
chlorinous, cover, anna, rest, coming
