Beirut – Fisher Island Sound Lyrics

 

Fisher Island Sound Lyrics by Beirut

 

My call in the silence, small town’s winter
Your child is tall and asking for more than you
Your sighs, I hear them long and high, no, not today
Your time may pass the edges open, open

Alive, alone, alive, alone
Alive, alone, alive, alone

And after dawn
Start to see the shadows, oh-oh-oh-oh
Seen my thoughts
Turned from the gallows, oh-oh-oh-oh

Alive alone, alive alone
Alive alone, alive alone

And it’s been told
The sky might heed an answer, oh-oh-oh-oh
And I’ve been cold
Wade through the phantom, oh-oh-oh-oh
