September Lyrics - Port Of Morrow - The Shins

Into this strange elastic world 

Pontus kindly gave up a pearl 

Of his eternal stone and mud 

Ain't she lovely bone and blood 

Born of the sea 

A thousand miles away from me 

A court of angels, a ward of the sun 

A future forming, a curse undone 

Under our softly burning lamp she 

Takes her time 

Telling stories of our possible lives 

And love is the ink in the well when her body writes

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I've been selfish and full of pride 

She knows deep down there's a little child 

But I've got a good side to me as well 

And it's that she loves in spite of everything else 

A song in the tree has distracted her mind 

Some other curious form of life 

Has made its presence to her known 

And she coos so gently, soft and low 

Her shining face in a million reflections 

On tiny raindrops that fall in a veil 

Over our city like notes from above 

It overwhelms me, just ain't that tough 

Its not that the darkness can't touch our lives 

I know it will in time, but she's no ordinary valentine 

And know when the sun goes down she sheds a darling light
