Copper and Malachite - Ben Sollee

Goodnight darling, goodnight

I hope you sleep well

Goodnight darling, goodnight

I wish I could be there

Hear your breathing

And watch, your chest rise and fall

Wrap around you, you are

The same length as me

I was young when I first

Heard about something called love

Someone told me it was

Like finally waking up

Course I laughed then, but now

You could say I believe

If I was smarter I’m sure

I’d write you a symphony

I barely know you

But I feel I’ve loved you before

And I want to show you

This loose board in the floor

This is where I keep my heart

Yes, this is where I keep my heart

Not on my sleeve

Nothing’s certain, I know

But I like to believe

Something out there somewhere

Intends us to be

I’ll keep standing right here

Just as proud as April pie

Your eyes are colored in shades

Of copper and malachite

This song is simple

But it’s the best I can do

Cause it ain’t so simple

To capture the way I feel

But I thought I’d try

Yes, I thought I’d try

Goodnight darling

Goodnight darling

Goodnight darling

Goodnight

Sleep well
