[ti:Hanging from a Hit] [ar:Okkervil River] [al:I Am Very Far] [by:] [offset:0] [00:35.27]What this night wants is what it gets [00:37.85]Strung in silken knots [00:39.92]Lit by cigarettes flaring side by side [00:46.55]With the streets all wet [00:49.06]As the only thing that's bright [00:52.24]And I don't need to cross that bridge [00:56.42]I find I'm swinging or sailing [01:01.36]Over the pit tonight [01:05.91]I'm hanging from a hit [01:09.76]Tonight was wild enough [01:12.93]To order up and toss across my lips [01:20.24] [01:26.37]What's making all my tears [01:34.59]Is taking all my fears away [01:42.09]But I don't need to cry [01:49.37]Cause now I'm clear [01:58.49] [02:11.75]A moth that's swerving through the sage [02:13.94]A creature crashing from a cage [02:16.67]A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray [02:23.70]A day she spends the night and I can hear her sighing [02:32.77]As she's almost asleep on one side [02:40.76]I lie back on my pillow and ask what her husband is like [02:55.72] [03:11.35]And she says "I smile polite [03:17.91]And I tip and tithe [03:19.96]And I see the sights with a well-trained eye [03:25.94]But I calmly cry [03:27.82]Cause I'm too much mine without him [03:33.35]I lie reclined where the room is quiet [03:37.72]And it's quiet at night [03:39.63]The soft silk is fine [03:41.74]And the waves are white [03:44.23]But the wind has died without him [03:49.99]And I scream my smiles [03:52.18]And I want my wires and I need my stripes [03:56.24]And I read the lines until I lid my eyes [04:00.79]And I'm losing time without him " [04:05.41]And she says "I ignite inside [04:08.23]And I flash with fire [04:10.81]And I limp from life [04:12.90]And I'm blazing blind [04:14.73]And I'm surging live [04:16.93]I give up my mind [04:22.84]When with him [04:26.57] [04:28.76]And then every dream inside turns to flames [04:36.47]Fades to grey and is dying [04:44.39]And the smoke rises into a white blank bare broke-open sky "
