the night will always win - elbow

I throw this to the wind

But what if I was right?

Well, did you trust your noble dreams

And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?

The night will always win

The night has darkness on its side

I’ll throw this to the wind

I miss your stupid face

I miss your bad advice

I tried to clothe your bones with scratches

Super 8s, exaggerated stories and old tunes

But never by the moon

But not the state I’m in

The night will always win

I throw this to the wind

But what if i was right

Well, did you trust your noble dreams

And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night

The night will always win

The night has darkness on its side

I’ve thrown this to the wind

I miss your stupid face

I miss your bad advice

I tried to clothe your bones with scratches

Super 8s, exaggerated stories and old tunes

But never by the moon

But never the state that I’m in

The night will always win
