Torch Song Lyrics - Lisbon - The Walkmen

If I had known the graceful song I should know 

To slow down all the madness, I would have sung 

A whispered melody to calm you and keep you close 

But I don't know the tune 

It's a burden on my sorry soul 

No, I don't have a clue 

It's a weight upon my empty skull 

If I was soundly sleeping, I'd fall into dreams 

But the night time's stale and restless, it's all wrong for me. 

The night time's stale and restless, it's all wrong for me. 

I don't know the tune 

It's a burden on my sorry soul 

No I don't have a clue 

A weight upon my empty skull.
