Parades Go By Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

I'll linger here 

Your ring upon my finger, dear 

And sing till dawn 

A song of you and me and what and why 

For time is all 

I have to keep 

Between these walls 

And half asleep 

The days go by 

A million little nights 

And days go by 

And I don't mind 

Parades go by 

So many beautiful parades go by 

Leave me behind 

I'll sit and stare 

How could I venture anywhere? 

And let the centuries fall where they may 

But never die 

For I have loved 

And so I lost 

The world above 

Beyond the moss 

The days go by 

A million little nights 

And days go by 

And I don't mind 

Parades go by 

So many beautiful parades go by 

Leave me behind 

The days goes by 

(Goes by) 

Parades go by 

And I don't mind 

Parades go by 

(Parades go by) 

Parades go by 

Leave me behind
