Patrick Wolf Dies Irae Lyrics

[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall (oooh)
Not yet your funeral (oooh)
And while we're alive, alive, alive, alive (oooh)
What can I do to help (oooh)
You hold back tomorrow?

[Verse 1]
Show me your unfinished painting
What bird here were you intending?
No, it's just the sun in my eyes (hey)
Reminds me of a book I've been
Putting off reading the ending of
And yes, it's later than we think
[Pre-Chorus]
But not too late of my love let you know

[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall (oooh)
Not yet your funeral (oooh)
And while we're alive, alive, alive, alive (oooh)
What can I do to help (oooh)
You hold back tomorrow?

[Verse 2]
Hold tight, let the daylight deepen between us The sleep of reason produces monsters
Go dance in the kitchen with him
You've been his religion and his joy
Aand it's later than he thinks

[Pre-Chorus]
But not too late of your love let him know

[Chorus]
The night is yet to fall (oooh)
Not yet your funeral (oooh)
And while we're alive, alive, alive, alive (oooh)
What can I do to help (oooh)
You hold back tomorrow?
[Outro]
Hush now darling
The horseshoe bat ovalling above us
The time is near
Please stop crying
The low sky sighing now stays close
The time is near
The badgers huddle in the tree tunnel
I love you too
The time is near
Take this moment
You'll always have home in it
The time is here
