Beirut

Beirut - Nantes:

Lyrics:

Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile

Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes

Beirut - Elephant Gun:

 

Lyrics:

If I was young, I'd flee this town

I'd bury my dreams underground

As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun

Let's take them down one by one

We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on

Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on

Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night

And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night

And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

Beirut - Postcards From Italy:  

 

Lyrics:

The times we had

Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow

Were not all bad

We put our feet just where they had

Had to go, never to go

The shattered soul

Following close but nearly twice as slow

In my good times

There were always golden rocks to throw

At those who

Those who admit defeat too late

Those were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that day

That day is mine

When she will marry me outside

With the willow trees

And play the songs we made

They made me so

And I would love to see that day

Her day was mine

Beirut

Beirut - A Sunday Smile:

Lyrics:

All I want is the best for our lives my dear

and you know my wishes are sincere

Whats to say for the days I cannot bare?

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while

A Sunday mile we paused and sang

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while

A Sunday mile we paused and sang

A Sunday smile and we felt true. (and)

We burnt to the ground

Left a view to admire

With buildings inside church of white

We burnt to the ground 

Left a grave to admire

And as we reach for the sky

Reach the church of white

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while

A Sunday mile we paused and sang

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while

A Sunday mile we paused and sang

A Sunday smile and we felt true. (and)

Beirut - Rhineland:

Lyrics:

Life, life is all right on the Rhine 

No, but I know, but I know

I would have nowhere to go

No, but there's nowhere to go, to go

Beirut - Guyamas Sonora:

Lyrics:

In the hall I heard your faints falling

Your trial and my corrections made

You have all the prayers of my loose heart

You have all the prayers of

No I was not there on the church stairs

The wind in my hair, a flood through my tear

Beirut

Beirut - East Harlem:

Lyrics:

Another rose wilts in East Harlem

And uptown downtown a thousand miles between us

She's waiting for the night to fall

Let it fall, I'll never make it in time

Another rose wilts in East Harlem

And uptown downtown a thousand miles between us

She's waiting for the night to fall

Let it fall, I'll never make it in time

Another rose wilts in East Harlem

And uptown downtown a thousand miles between us

She's waiting for the night to fall

Let it fall, I'll never make it in time

Sound is the colour I know, oh

Sound is what keeps me looking for your eyes

And sound of your breath in the cold

And oh, the sound will bring me home again

Sound is the colour I know, oh

Sound is what keeps me looking for your eyes

And sound of your breath in the cold

And oh, the sound will bring me home again

 Beirut - Goshen:

Lyrics:

You're on in five, it's time you rise or fail

They've gone before, stood by your door all day

For what it's worth, defend your kind from shame

The lights are down, go on inside, they've paid

You're the face in stone

Through the land I own

You never found it home

You're not the girl I used to know

What would you hide from such a glow

If I had only told you so?

You're on in five, it's time you rise or fail

They've gone before, stood by your door all day

But you never found it home

A fair price I'd pay to be alone

What would you hide from such a glow

If I had only told you so?

Beirut

Beirut - Scenic World:

Lyrics:

The lights go on 

The lights go off 

When things don't feel right 

I lie down like a tired dog 

Licking his wounds in the shade 

When I feel alive 

I try to imagine a careless life 

A scenic world where the sunsets are all 

Breathtaking

Beirut - The Penalty (Live):

Lyrics:

Like an ancient day and I'm on trial

Let them seize the way, this once was an island

And I could not stay for I believed them

Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick

Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights

Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing

Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

Left for the lights always in season

Beirut - Hallelujah (Live):

Beirut

Beirut - A Candle's Fire:

Lyrics:

Oh light a candle's fire

Carries a good name

What would you ask a camp fire

It's scares'd be just the same

And you, you had it all along

And endless need for games

Just don't forget a candle's fire 

Is only just a flame

I, it's certain from a far 

Have failed to pull my weight

But you were light, you traveled through the fog

To arrive at our front gate

Tonight we rest beside the fire

A smile upon your face

Just don't forget a candle's fire 

Us only just a flame

If I had known not to carry on that way 

It wouldn't show in the creases of your face

If you should go but you carry on my name

Just let it blow, in the fog on Bishop's Lane

Beirut

Beirut - Elephant Gun:

Lyrics:

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin
Let the seasons begin, take the big king down

Let the seasons begin
Let the seasons begin, take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is

Beirut

Beirut - Santa Fe:

Lyrics:

Your days in one
This day undone
(The kind that breaks under)
All day at once
(for me, for you)
I'm just too young
(And what of my heart) 

This day was once
(Silence before)
All grace of lost
Can't wait at all
(Can't wait at all)
Temptation won

And what ever comes through the door
I'll see it face to face
All by your place

Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
Sign me up Santa Fe
On the cross Santa Fe
And all I want
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son

And I and I and I alone want you to know
And I and I and I alone
And I and I and I alone want you to know
And I and I and I alone

Your days in one
This day undone
(The kind that breaks under)
All day at once
(for me, for you)
I'm just too young
(And what of my heart)

Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
Sign me up Santa Fe
On the cross Santa Fe
And all I want
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son..
