Midnight Sun

Lyrics

They say the king of birds
 And the queen of hearts
 Wore each other's keys
 Before they called the wedding off
 And all the feathers rained down
 And the town fell asleep
 Pulling on the poems
 For the midnight sun
 Pulling on the poems
 For the midnight sun
 ♪
 Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground)
 With every breath (Every breath)
 Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside)
 Made a shrine of every mess
 Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared)
 With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)
 She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose)
 Then he turned to stone
 She handed him a rose
 And he turned to stone
 ♪
 Then they laid him in the creek
 Where the river ran dry
 To the mouth of wisdom
 And the end of doubt
 Then the woman reappeared
 With a blank spread smile
 Took him by the rose
 Then he turned to stone
 Yeah, she handed him a rose
 Left him all alone
 ♪
 Well, they lifted the stone (The stone)
 Then they mapped the stars (The stars)
 Brought back the keys (Keys)
 And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts)
 And the birds returned (The birds)
 With songs in their eyes (Their eyes)
 With maps to the world (The world)
 Never seen
 Maps to the world
 Never seen
