Noah And The Whale - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down Lyrics






Oh, well it's hard to look deep into your soul
Not everything you'll find will be perfect gold
There are ghosts and demons that hide in the dark
Oh, they wait till I find love and then they laugh
Oh, they know that my body is no way good enough
Know that my heart is no way strong enough to bare the sorrow that love brings
Oh, when I coil in fear, oh, the demons sing

But it's a hollow love for a heart with no blood
In its veins

Oh, there is no endless devotion
That is free from the force of erosion
Oh, if you don't believe in God
How can you believe in love?
When we're all just matter that will one day scatter
When peaceful, the world lays us down
Oh, and finding love is a matter of luck
Oh, and unsettled lovers move from fuck to fuck
Oh, and compare their achievements like discussing bereavements
And compare their abrasions with romantic quotations
Oh, as peaceful, the world watches down

You were blown out of the water
Oh, and we walk on the feet we have grown
Oh we were given a heart, of which love was a part
Oh, and we cornered the thing from which all life will spring
And it gave value to the world that surrounds us

But we consider the world just for a moment
Oh, and it's gone before we even know
Oh, but I'll follow it 'round
Yeah, I'll follow it 'round
Oh, I'll follow it 'round
Yeah, I'll follow it 'round

'Till peaceful, the world lays me down

    are you kidding me?
    noah and the whale are one of the most prolific folk and indie bands, some could say they really bolstered indie and hipsters being "mainstream" as they so often say.
    honestly their music is used on every tv show and played all the time on the radio. least in the uk
