The Village In The Morning Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

Outside the rain is coming down 

Inside it's warm and dry 

You'll never find a cab uptown 

So why not stay the night? 

Why don't you call in sick tomorrow? 

Let's sleep the day away 

I've got pajamas you can borrow 

Let's take a holiday 

You can't leave the village in the the morning 

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified] 

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river 

And you can't find the breath to whisper 

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye 

Why don't you stay until the weekend? 

It should clear up by then 

As your resolve begins to weaken 

We'll become such good friends 

And you could stay until the summer 

And we can sleep through spring 

And I can telephone my drummer 

And have her get your things 

You can't leave the village in the the morning 

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified] 

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river 

And you can't find the breath to whisper 

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye 

Why don't you stay until we're old 

And fall in love with life? 

Why don't you stay until we're ghosts 

We'll only seem to die 

You can't leave the village in the the morning 

When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified] 

You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river 

And you can't find the breath to whisper 

Goodbye, whisper, goodbye
