SONG FOR SUNDAY

alan villiers, sons of sinbad
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with
it's quiet company, it's quiet company
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with
it's quiet company, it's quiet company, it's quiet company

and I can't fall asleep without a little help
it takes awhile to settle down my ship of hopes
wait 'til the past leaks out

it takes an ocean not to break
it takes an ocean not to break
it takes an ocean not to break company
it's quite a company, it's quiet company

but I won't follow you into the rabbit hole
I said I would but then I saw the ship of woes
they didn't want me to

it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love that I'm walking with

it takes an ocean not to break
it takes an ocean not to break
it takes an ocean not to break
(terrible love, birdy)

SONG FOR SUNDAY



come on skinny love just last the year
pour a little salt we were never here
my, my, my, my...
staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

i tell my love to wreck it all
cut out all the ropes and let me fall
my, my, my...
right in the moment this order's fall

i told you to be patient
i told you to be fine
i told you to be balanced
i told you to be kind
in the morning i'll be with you
but it will be a different "kind"
i'll be holding all the tickets
and you'll be owning all the fines

come on skinny love what happened here
suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
my, my, my...
sullen load is full; so slow on the split

i told you to be patient
i told you to be fine
i told you to be balanced
i told you to be kind
now all your love is wasted?
then who the hell was I?
now i'm breaking at the britches
and at the end of all your lines

who will love you?
who will fight?
who will fall far behind?

(birdy, skinny love, original by bon iver)
