un dernier verre pour la route

Beirut

Come sit at the table
Under October s able skies
Once we d seen eye to eye
I ve known that I d pass you by, and I tried

The bells chime
Seven times
Completed at nine
The world moves slower, I find

No, but I
Learned of time
By your hands

And in shallow waters end
I learned not to swim, but to lie

I ll wait for now
Til it s ready to burn out
I insist on doubts
We re already lying on the glass
The glass
