Beirut "The Penalty" lyrics

Translation to:rotr

The Penalty

Like an ancient day and I'm on trialLet them seize the way, this once was an islandAnd I could not stay for I believed themLeft for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesickFully grown children, you'll leave the lightsYour family may not wait, Sir, keep on believingOur parents rue the day, they find us kneelingLet them think what they may, for they've good reasonLeft for the lights always in season
