Night Descending
Iron & Wine
[Intro] [Verse 1] Black hair the night descending Baby never puts her trust in Tight black tie too quick to laughter Ain’t no telling what he’s after Found a friend without religion Riding on a stolen engine Far too fast to pacify you Ain’t no telling what he’s up to [Instrumental] [Verse 2] In time the night may soften Trust that I’m still hoping darling Wooden coin he called my daughter No good knowing what came after Met a man with missing fingers Shaking hands with shaded strangers Far too strong to pacify you Ain’t no telling what they’re up to [Instrumental] Late night the cock crows shortly Morning through the open doorway All us servants beg the master Ain’t no knowing what he’s after In a year of fallen angels Broken hands and boys in danger Pray the lord might pacify you Ain’t no telling what he’s up to [Instrumental]
