Lyrics for The Birds Will Still Be Singing by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | The Juliet Letter | | Track: | The Birds Will Still Be Singing | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | Words & Music: Mac Manus (4:27)
Summertime withers as the sun descends
He wants to
kiss you. Will you condescend?
Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
Under a
fine canopy of lover's dust and humourous bones
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every
sorrow
Eternity stinks, my darling. That's no joke
Don't waste your precious time
pretending you're
heartbroken
There will be tears and candles
Pretty words to
say
Spare me lily-white lillies
With the awful perfume of decay
Banish all
dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I'm lost or I'm forgiven
The birds will still be
singing
It's so hard to tear myself away
Even when you know it's over
It's too
much to say.
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I'm lost or I'm
forgiven
The birds will still be singing | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
