Lyrics The Birds Are Singing At Night - Lord Huron

The Birds Are Singing At Night

Through the dawning age
We go walking together
Toward the yawning grave
Burning days as we make our way
We’ll leave our bones in the dust
An untold legend is lighting up
What if I was the last sight you ever saw
Would you die with a smile on your face
Well don’t even try to say you will
'Cause you’d hardly recognize the sight
The young are getting old and the summer is cold
All the birds have been singing at night
When we’re dead and gone
Will the mountains remember
Or just carry on
Moving as slow as the forest grows
And turn our bones into dust
An untold legend is lighting up
When will I reach that light that I’m running to
When I die
Will it turn out forever
There’s a fire burning inside of me
When I die
Will I burn out forever
You don’t need to lie, I know it will
'Cause the darkness doesn’t need the light
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold
And all the birds have been singing at night
Well, don’t even try to save me, friend
'Cause I know it ain’t worth the fight
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold
And all the birds have been singing at night
