My Lover Lies Under - Cherry Ghost

Through the shadows of the old high-rise

Cross the footnotes of self-sacrifice

Some place somewhere there are bluer skies

My lover lies under

Past the battle hymns of late night bars

Through the endless lines of motorcars

There’s a quiet night of quiet stars

My lover lies under

I do believe I’ve lost my faith in Hollywood

Those dreams upon the screen ain’t for the likes of us

But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love

But sometimes I wonder

Past the war in tongues and prying eyes

Through the subways and the city lights

Some place somewhere there are bluer skies

My lover lies under

I do believe I’ve lost my faith in Hollywood

Those dreams upon the screen ain’t for the likes of us

But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love

But sometimes I wonder

Through the shadows of the old high-rise

Cross the factories floors and severed ties

There’s a sunset in your paradise

My lover lies under

My lover lies under

But sometimes I wonder
