lyrics

Paper birds
majestic and beautiful
float around, on the ground
like questions that no one dared to ask
and I pray
their headlined wings will carry them
all the way to your place
and sing what my songs could
never say

When we where young
armed with easy confidence
without a dime
no sense of time
we'd build cities that were destined to be drowned
in the sand
we gate-crashed the pearly gates
dug too deep and fell asleep
on promises that we couldn't keep

but every road and bridge would spin
every grain of sand vanished in
Tomorrows Rain
Bring back
Tomorrows Rain
oh let me have...

Stupid words
innocent and arrogant
run around, on the ground
like starving dogs fighting for a juicy bone
And I wish
that I could put an end to them
in their bed, I'd shoot them dead
and write them out in retribution red

and every word and every tear
every drop of blood would disappear
in Tomorrows Rain
(ad lip)
The rain gives and takes away
won't let nothing stay the same
'til all that's left
is the love I misunderstood
tomorrow holds a better day
if we let go of yesterday
and every word and every tear
every drop of blood will disappear
and all them questions never asked
will vanish in
Tomorrows Rain

I remember when this was new. I feel like Mugison is the Tom Waits of Iceland. Fantastically unique, and compelling. Lute FP
