Train Under Water Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes

You were born inside of a raindrop 

I watched you falling 

To your death 

And the sun 

Well it could not save you 

She'd fallen down too 

Now the streets are wet 

Body of water, toxic and timeless 

Atlantic ocean, New York skyline 

I always get lost 

When I leave the village 

So couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night 

But I sing glory from my lowest 

And I will say peace 

To the people I meet 

While the world waits for an explosion 

That instant of light that wipes the slate clean 

So don't be fooled 

No, don't get lied to 

Love was always cruel 

Don't act strange 

Don't be a stranger 

It happened to me now it's happening to you 

But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through 

Well if I could tame all of my desires 

Wait out the weather 

That howls in my brain 

Because it seems 

That it's always changing 

The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain 

Yeah, I was a postcard 

I was a record 

I was a camera 

Until I went blind 

Now I am riding all over this island 

Looking for something to open my eyes 

But I still sing glory 

From a high-rise 

And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks 

While the world waits for an explosion 

That moment in time when we are set free 

Well don't stay mad 

Just let some time pass 

And in the morning you'll wake feeling new 

And if I don't come back 

I mean, if I get sidetracked 

It's only cause I wanted to 

I'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue
