Beirut - The Penalty lyrics
[Beirut - The Penalty lyrics]
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
Let them seize the way
This once was an island
And I could not stay for I believed them
Left for the lights always in season
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir
Keep on breathing our parents rue the day
They find us kneeling
Let them think what they may
For they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season
Let them seize the way
This once was an island
And I could not stay for I believed them
Left for the lights always in season
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait, Sir
Keep on breathing our parents rue the day
They find us kneeling
Let them think what they may
For they've good reason
Left for the lights always in season
