Postcards from Tiny Islands - The Walkmen

Many nights

Dwindle by

Midnight moon’s on the rise

My heavy head’s going light

So I’ll go home and sleep tonight

I’m walking tonight

About as far as I can go

I listen to the last song

By the windows

Here’s to you and the stars above

The half moon and your pretty eyes

And here’s to you and the setting sun

The bar men and their sorry songs

I’ll be drunk before too long

And I’ll keep up in case I can talk

This really don’t say it all

There’s too much to enclose

These postcards from tiny islands

Mean more than you know

So here’s to you and the ground below

The grass bar and the empty sky

I’m walking tonight

About as far as I can go

The marble was stolen

The midnight moon, it glows

This really don’t say it all

It’s too much to enclose

Life is so easy now

Everything is working out

Oh, highways are flying by
