For The Enemy - Okkervil River

Oh, my enemy

You’ve got company

You’re not alone

They’re watching over me

While each town I pass

Fades as it folds

So in the night

We might get lost

Lost in our fright

So in the day

Softly we’ll flow

Floating away

And it pours

From the faucet’s mouth

Like our fortune

Comes flowing out

Every word of which

Without a doubt

Will find us together

And together bring us down

They’ll tie us down

In those fine thin threads

Run their knives

Up and down our skin

Until what was in

Will be out again

Above the sea

On that sunny ledge

As in the day

Softly we’ll flow

Floating away

And in the night

We will get lost

Lost in our fright

La la la la la la

And in the day

Softly we’ll flow

Floating away
