Girl Sailor Lyrics - Wincing The Night Away - The Shins

The gutter may profess its love 

Then follow it with hesitation 

But there are just so many of 

You out there for rent 

A stronger girl would shake this off in flight 

And never give it more than a frowning hour 

But you have let your heart decide 

Loss has conquered you 

You've won one too many fights 

Wearing many hats every time 

But you won't win here tonight 

You've made it through the direst of straits alright 

Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting? 

You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes 

And I cannot lecture you

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And does anything I say seem relevant at all? 

You've been at the helm since you were just five 

While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger 

But, you've won one too many fights 

Wearing all of your clothes at the same time 

Let the good times end tonight 

Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her 

This time 

Just a moment or two from now 

Not a mind will retain even a trace 

Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell 

And how our stack of cards just fell 

So settle this once and for all 

The light no longer shows the cracks around my door 

And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight

You are not some saint who's above 

Giving someone a stroll through the flowers 

You've got so much more to dream of 

Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her 

This time 

This time
