Downtown's Lights - Kevin Morby

Mother Sister, comfort me

Feel so wet and cold

And downtown’s lights look like a fire

As I’m headed out in the snow

You know I’ve gone to live one thousand lives

And to die one thousand deaths

But lately baby, got me scared

Ain’t got too much left

I watch the tide flying

Like a sparrow

I watch the lights dying

Off like dominoes

Uh-hoh

And the church bells were ringing

And the church bells they cried

And the church bells sang inside my heart

The night before she died

And Jesus came to me

He put a song into my ears

He said let it fall right out your mouth

For the whole wide world to hear

And so I opened wide and out came a tide

And I let them know what to follow

And I cried Mother Sister, won’t you comfort me

Downtown’s locked up for the night

And I don’t have a key

Mother Sister, comfort me

Feel so wet and cold

And downtown’s lights look like a fire

As I’m headed out towards the show

You know I’ve gone to live one thousand lives

And to die one thousand deaths

But lately baby, got me scared

Ain’t got too much left

But the ones that I had spent with you

Were the best that I ever had

One two three four
