Life in the Dark - The Felice Brothers

I live my life in the dark

I’ve often tried

To push the curtain aside

But I don’t know how

I don’t know how

I bury my head when I cough

I’ve often thought

«Tonight we’re bound to be caught»

But I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I’d love to see you

Where the bluebirds grind their corn

I’d love to see you

In that old house where we were born

They’re burning the heretics again

It’s awfully bright

All the infamous night

Down in the street

Down in the square

I dream of a world without war

The lonely crowd

Singing together aloud

Verses of love

Verses of peace

I’d love to see you

Where the bluebirds grind their corn

I’d love to see you

In that old house where we were born

Sorrow seeps through the floor

It covers me

As waters cover the sea

But I don’t know why

It’s all in the blink of an eye

We laugh and we cry

We fall in love and we die

But we don’t know when

We don’t know why

I’d love to see you

When the angels blow their horn

I’d love to see you

In that old house where we were born
