Soft Offering (for The Oft Suffering) Lyrics & Chords By Hey Rosetta!

LyricsView Chords

The long knife of the sun rising
Up the horizon and into our tired eyes
The spell of night is struck down a second sight
It's bleeding out
Anna, can I come and walk you home?
I'm not gonna want to be alone
Beat it up when the sunlight comes
Putting a cut by the clock on the wall

Take the morning in the coroner's light
You can have the afternoon, bury the evening too
Get me together in calm of the night
When the day is done and the rest is coming on
Under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and
Bring in the shadows to cover our fall
When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on [coming on, coming on].

You belong out of that uniform
Out in the streets when everyone else is asleep
See the way the body sways in empty air
When there's nobody there, and you don't even care if there is
Anna, can I be to you like that?
Cover your shame with a shield of black?
Cover your body with my trembling hands?
And you're dancing while I hold them back?

Go back to morning with the coroner's light
Have the afternoon, bury the evening too
Let's hide together in calm of the night
When the day is done and the rest is coming on
Under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and
Bring in the shadows to cover our wounds
When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on [coming on, coming on]
