The Rumjacks - Goodnight & Make Mends lyrics

[The Rumjacks - Goodnight & Make Mends lyrics]

"Leave a beer on the hospital steps
With a lipstick kiss goodnight
Watch for me down Cambridge Street
Smashing out the lights"
Your words came steady and
Your words came quick
Your talk was heavy as we walked the bricks
Of this town that you never
Would admit you loved -
A whole wide world it was keeping you from

Goodnight, make mends
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul

Market Street’s never gonna be the same
Washington lost it's rhyme
It’s gonna be quiet ‘round Union Square
With her withering neon signs
And your "desolate kingdom
Of sprawling bricks"
Came crashing to the ground
We strode like kings through the Allston snow
When the bars had kicked us out

Goodnight, make mends
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul

With ironclad bones
You made this town your own
You made your mark and left the scars unsewn
With ironclad bones
You made this town your own
You made your mark and left the scars unsewn

Goodnight, make mends
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul

Goodnight, make mends
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul
