The Choir Sighed Lyrics

I found love
Playing down in the Alibi
He was singing warm and low
And bending notes up high
The November cold
Leaned into the night
And said, "go on and try to catch a spark
Of the Gaslight"

I had thorns in my tongue
I twisted strings already tightly strung

And I said...

"What of the colors
That only bloom at night
And then the day
Breaks in black and white

So many colors
Only bloom at night
And then the day breaks
In black and white"
But the choir sighed
And we were lullabied away

I found love
In a room that had no floor
Just a narrow bed
And a sun-bleached bed sheet for a door

Upon the warmth
And the scent of your skin
I slept lightly and still
I fell deeper in

I had thorns in my tongue
I twisted strings already tightly strung
And I said...

"What of the colors
That only bloom at night
And then the day
Breaks in black and white

So many colors
Bloom in the night
And so many days break
In black and white"

But the choir sighed
And we were lullabied away

I pulled thorns out of my tongue
I loosened strings that were too tightly strung

And the choir sighed
And we were lullabied away
