Big Thief - Sadness as a Gift lyrics
[Big Thief - Sadness as a Gift lyrics]
You and I both know
There is nothing more to say
Chances shutter shining eyes
And turn to face away
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and
I think you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
Snow falling try to keep from calling
Watch the spring turn to winter
Fireflies all frozen
The seasons go fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
Searching for your eyes
All I see are blue skies
And that old man beats his crooked cane
It's time to let go
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and I bet you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
You and I could see into the same eternity
Every second brimming with a majesty
Kiss so sweet, so fine
You could hear the music inside my mind
And you showed me a place to find
Even when I'm old
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and
I hope you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
There is nothing more to say
Chances shutter shining eyes
And turn to face away
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and
I think you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
Snow falling try to keep from calling
Watch the spring turn to winter
Fireflies all frozen
The seasons go fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
Searching for your eyes
All I see are blue skies
And that old man beats his crooked cane
It's time to let go
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and I bet you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
You and I could see into the same eternity
Every second brimming with a majesty
Kiss so sweet, so fine
You could hear the music inside my mind
And you showed me a place to find
Even when I'm old
Leaning on the window sill
You could write me someday and
I hope you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
