1959 - Hamilton Leithauser, ROSTAM, Angel Deradoorian

If you don’t hear from me tonight

My love, don’t be deceived

I won’t always see you

When you’re calling after me

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

But I’d rather die, oh

Last night the doorbell rang

Some kids were playing pranks

It got me thinking of us

Messing around… and some other stuff

So I rumble down your hall

Do you hear me through the wall?

When my head hits the floor

It ain’t gonna hurt me, anymore

One day, I’ll stop to listen

One day, I’ll stop to listen

Golden roads, paper towns

Watercolor roaring hours

How’ve you been, I wish that I

Could see you now just one more time

Don’t trust the moonbeams

«Moonbeams are off the record»

Don’t count your heartbeats

You heart won’t beat forever

Dim your lights, lock your doors

Don’t forgive me anymore

Finally sleeping, blazer torn

Lying on your wooden floor

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

Don’t trust the moonbeams

«Moonbeams are off the record»

Don’t count your heartbeats

Your heart won’t beat forever

(One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen

One day I’ll stop to listen)
