Augie March-Here Comes The Night Highline Ballroom NYC
This is my favorite song from Augie March, if I had to pick one song to take away wih me, this is THE ONE SONG!!!.
Sept 18, 2007
Here comes the night,
Roll on you careless evening.
When we unite
Not a force concurs,
Not hell nor heaven,
So let it come, let it rain,
Let it burn through you and me again
in the slums without a name,
and it isn't only poverty to blame.
Here comes your man,
Rolling down the street the callous friend,
He puts it in your hand
And all the world is but a whistle and a milkshake,
O how can you breathe little blue?
You have hooks, you have holes in you,
In absentium and in lieu of all the things
that have been promised you ...
But O my sweet how incomplete you are,
In your eyes a smile so sweet
A silly soldiers scar
Splits your face from ear to ear,
You pretend that simply cannot hear
The bells and the bombs going off in the galleria
Here comes the night,
Roll on your careless evening,
When we unite
Not a force concurs,
Not hell nor heaven,
So let it come, let it rain,
Let it burn through you and me again
in the slums without a name,
and it isn't only poverty to blame --
My sweet how incomplete we are,
In their eyes am I from dust
You from my bones imparted,
And if that don't make you laugh
at nature's rough replacement.
Too late in all : Here comes the night x4
Roll on you night. the night, good night, roll on.
