The Birds Are Singing at Night Songtext

von Lord Huron

Through the dawning age
We go walking together
Toward the yawning grave
Burning days as we make our way
We'll leave our bones in the dust
An untold legend is lighting up

What if I was the last sight you ever saw,
Would you die with a smile on your face
Well don't even try to say you will,
Because you'd hardly recognize the sight
The young are getting old and the summer is cold,
All the birds have been singing at night

When we're dead and gone,
Will the mountains remember,
Or just carry on
Moving as slow as the forest grows
And turn our bones into dust,
An untold legend is lighting up

When will I reach that light that I'm running to,
When I die,
Will it turn out forever
There's a fire burning inside of me,
When I die,
Will I burn out forever

You don't need to lie, I know it will
Because the darkness doesn't need the light
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,
And all the birds have been singing at night

Well, don't even try to save me, friend,
'Cause I know it ain't worth the fight.
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,
And all the birds have been singing at night.
