The Night Will Always Win — Elbow Lyrics

I throw this to the wind
But what if I was right?
Well did you trust your noble dreams and
gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?

The night will always win
The night has darkness on it's side
I throw this to the wind

I miss your stupid face
I miss your bad advice
I tried to clothe your bones with scratchy
super 8's, exaggerated stories and old tunes

But never by the moon
And not the state I'm in
The night will always win

I throw this to the wind
Oh what if I was right?
Well did you trust your noble dreams and
gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?

The night will always win
The night has darkness on it's side
I throw this to the wind

I miss your stupid face
I miss your bad advice
I tried to clothe your bones with scratchy
super 8's, exaggerated stories and old tunes

But never by the moon
And never the state I'm in
The night will always win...
