Slowly Goes The Night Lyrics - Cave Nick

Lover, lover, goodbye 

So slowly goes the night 

I trace the print of your body with my hand 

Like the map of some forbidden land 

I trace the ghosts of your bones 

With my trembling hand 

Dark is my night 

But darker is my day yeah 

I must've been blind 

Out of my mind 

Not to read the warning signs 

How goes it? 

It goes lonely 

Goes slowly 

So slowly goes the night 

Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights 

I watch the moon get flayed anew 

Until the moom becomes the skinning tool 

I send the skins of my sins out to cover and comfort you 

I know of a Heaven 

And honey I know of a Hell yeah 

I hang my head 

In my bed 

And remember what you said 

"One evening, I'm leaving" 

And I laughed and checked her breathing 

And said darling 

Go slowly through the knight 

O baby, I feel the heal of time 

I wake to find you sitting here 

Cutting tangels out of your hair 

Singing a song that's all wrong 

Hey, but that's alright, I don't care 

O darling forgive me 

For all the misery yeah 

I embrace an empty space 

And your laughing song it fades 

Where goes it? 

It goes some place 

Where it's lonely 

And black as the night 

Come back, darling and put things right 

I hang my head and cry cry cry 

Darling, all night I try 

To cease on a reason for this mad mad season 

The nights, they are so long now 

I can't remember it being light 

Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like 

But only sleep, dear 

Only sleep brings you back to life yeah 

I hang my head 

I toss and I sweat 

I never never can forget 

How goes it? 

I'm going, but slowly slowly going 

And we both know that it's gonna be alright
