Until The Day Burns Down Lyrics & Tabs by Chamberlain
Until The Day Burns Down
guitar chords lyrics
Winter comes hunting like a wolf on the wind
And the lovers lie unknowing in their beds
It won't be long before the cold and the snow
Kill off the flowering armies that summer's led
You dig for your last smoke as the highway leads you home
And this day's going down in a flame
And evening is a reminder of the beauty of the end
And that the end might be the reason why we came
Night's handing silence to the hillsides where you walk
But you want that deeper silence that stays up in them hills
The field is a lover with her colors at your knees
But you know there are stranger flowers still
And somehow you tell yourself that
Like a rain cloud I'll be back again
But as you pull up to your house
And somehow you tell yourself that
Like a rain cloud I'll be back again
But as you pull up to your house
You know that you can't go in until the day burns down
We live the long walk of a question, my friends
I think about my sister out in the rain
And all the heroes I know that she'll never find
And that she'll never leave as perfect as she came
My mind is a symphony in the dark
And my heart is an old museum with all of these memories that I keep
I got to get back to where the sun raised the flowers
And the flowers they raise me
And somehow you tell yourself that
Like a rain cloud I'll be back again
But as you pull up to your house
You know that you can't go in until the day burns down
If I could hang the stars up, I'd hang 'em up one by one
To leave this world with something my hands made
And when that sun came up and made 'em all disappear
I'd know my work was real because nothing real can stay
