Beautiful haunting track from the album April which is full of hypnotic , mysterious,gorgeous songs of dark beauty.It's music that you have to work with, each play rewards you, its rich complex music - music that engages the heart and mind. I could go on about the songwriting of Mark Kozelek and the loveliness of his lyrics and the marvellous muscianship found on this record.- best to just listen..

LYRICS

The ancient streets so crowded and narrow
The winding stairs climb up, up high
The air tonight hangs sour and heavy
I'm dying up here love, lie with me, lie

The view electrical and sprawling
The city lights move out and on and on
Out there in the halo of the skyline
My guardian angel looks down upon me

Fall tonight sweet Paris rain
Shower me in her warm kisses

A burning star over long lost highways
My fallen love died so young
And all the gifts you gave, I have them
And all your love I'm still holding onto

She rides the halo of the skyline
My fallen sister died so young
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Our last goodbye I wanted to be there
To bathe the loss from your fading eyes

Close these sweeping long grey curtains
The dizzying spiraling heights

Soft light pours into the room
Fingers glide over my face, a voice speaks, a figure moves
How could I walk these old dim halls again
How could I leave this room all alone

When she comes by every morning
Brings back pink and pale blue orchids
When she comes by every afternoon
Piano music weeps quietly as May melts into June
When she comes by every evening
Lays down beside me softly breathing

  • Love cobbled streets lit by old lamps - your choice of photographs so effective in b&w. Admire all the work you've put into this.

  • @terigower

    most of the photographs are of Paris - I think the music called for a b&w theme.

    Thanks for watching Mary.

  • Picture slideshows set to music on YT are pretty banal. However, this one actually added something to the song, fits the mood perfectly.

  • i would give so much to be able to play this song. i practice for hours and i cant get it.

  • only 6,000 views.....come on. I heard it on Revenge.
