[Snow Patrol - Dark Roman Wine lyrics]
I will hang on the hook of your splendor
As the night rolls us up in it's arms
And the square of your
Thumbs and your fingers
Is the blanket of sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I
Can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all it's cards
Now it's out to the stars or the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until blood turns to sand
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
At all just to fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the cars shake the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the blood turns to sand
As the night rolls us up in it's arms
And the square of your
Thumbs and your fingers
Is the blanket of sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I
Can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all it's cards
Now it's out to the stars or the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until blood turns to sand
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
At all just to fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the cars shake the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the blood turns to sand
