Will Varley - Newborn Lyrics
This town bleeds like an open woundYou found no peace in a rented roomAnd every brick sings a different tuneEither kissed or cried on every avenueWell as she steals an hour from the darkest nightWraps it up in gold and gives me some light‘til there's nothing but shivers going down my spineRather wake for an hour than sleep for a lifetimeWell I make my way through the rain torn streetPast the drunks and their pieces of meatThe alcohol now clouds their mindsSouls are wishing for closing timeAnd the coat she bought is bound to keep me warmButtons are hanging off, sleeves are tornThe wind outside howls like a newbornPlease tell me why I’m here before you tell me to stayThe big bang doesn’t care if I prayWell I could fill my time in a million waysPut a little bit of sunshine in my dayThere’s still a swing on the old oak treeWhere we used to play, my brother and meAnd sometimes I feel like going homeBut home is a childhood memoryWell I cried a tear when I heard the newsReally nothing that I could say or doIt’s the hardest lesson I ever learnedLight a candle just to watch it burnSo you get caught up in a raging winter stormAll the lights are off and the curtains are drawnYou can live like a king but you die like a newbornWell I rolled a take me from place to placeGonna let this hair grow from my faceAnd where I’m bound I cannot tellIf you believe the bible then I’m bound for hellWell I got a lover now she got meShe knows a place inside my dreamsIf I sell this ring it’ll make me sadI’ll buy me a brand new sleeping bagThere’s a map of the stars on her chestThere’s a universe sitting behind her eyesBut I’ll meet you at 6 after some restWe’ll get paid, we’ll get drunk and we’ll get byChase the sunset until the morningWe’ll sleep through a thousand world warsAnd I’ll smile like a widow but cry like a newborn
