Future Islands Glimpse Lyrics

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I've been praying for peace
Out in the shadows

[Verse 1]
The pictures tossed in the fire
The memories lost, saved the wrong ones
We've been living a lie
In carrying on, where these souls stay hanged
[Chorus]
I've been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I've been praying for peace
Talking to shadows

[Post-Chorus]
Let the green grass grow over me
Over me, out where the wind blows
Let the green grass grow over me
Over me, over me, oh-oh [Verse 2]
The pictures lost in the fire
The misery saved for the wrong ones
And we just go living our lives
In carrying stones to each new dawned sun

[Bridge]
You ever wait so long? Ever wait so long?
Ever wait so long?
I been down, to see, calling back to me
Ever wait so long? Ever wait so long?

[Refrain]
Let the green grass over me
Over me, over me, oh-oh
[Outro]
Who is left to grieve?
Who is left to grieve?
Who is left to grieve? Oh, oh-oh-oh
I'm still praying for sleep
