lyrics

Like raindrops in the night,
we dance at the world's end,
as it all crashes down and burns beyond horizon's reach.
Nothing ever breaks clean,
and splinters pierce too deep to mend,
and bury themselves, to scar, the lessons of loss to teach.

But were it all foreseen–the pain, the sorrow the joy,
The union, the parting, the waters of fondness that flow.
I would let them wash over me.
But now I'm afraid to see,

That forever is no more but, lover, let me implore you,
to wait a little more time, for a moment so sublime to come.

And she and I a train,
headed too fast for the buffer,
with no brakeman on board to save us this time.
So, we sit back, relax, and wait for our collision.
It's the easy way, to face all of the decisions that we'll make.

But were it all foreseen–the pain, the sorrow, the joy,
The union and the parting and the waters of fondness that flow,
Well, I'd still let them wash over me again.
But now I'm afraid to see...

That forever is no more but, lover, let me implore you,
to wait a little more time, for a moment so sublime to come.

Here comes the end,
forever stalking our hands entwined,
it's shadow lurking in everyday delight.
Prizing them apart,
destroying by design,
here comes the end, it's followed forever and now's the time.

But were it all foreseen–the pain, the sorrow, the joy.
The union, the parting, the waters of fondness that flow.
Well, I'd still let them wash over me.
But now I'm afraid to see...

That forever is no more but, lover, let me implore you,
to wait a little more time, for a moment so sublime to come.
That forever is no more but, lover, let me implore you,
to wait a little more time, for a moment so sublime to come.

The Morning Shift image

The Morning Shift London, UK

The Morning Shift are a SE London based indie-something seven-piece, who blend their influences of Belle and Sebastian, Nick Cave and The Beatles into a circus of sound that mixes the jangly guitars of late 90s indie music with the deep, warm soundscapes of Bad Seed-esque art rock. The band’s lyrics discuss life, love and loss, reveling in the melancholy and the everyday beauty of the mundane. ... more
