Midnight Sun

They say the king of birds And the queen of hearts Wore each other's keys Before they called the wedding off And all the feathers rained down And the town fell asleep Chorus Pulling on the poems For the midnight sun Pulling on the poems For the midnight sun Verse 2 Yeah, she shook the ground With every breath Tossed his troubles aside Made a shrine of every mess Well, a woman appeared With a guillotine smile Chorus She handed him a rose Then he turned to stone She handed him a rose Then he turned to stone Verse 3 Then they laid him in the creek Where the river ran dry To the mouth of wisdom And the end of doubt Then the woman reappeared With a blank spread smile Chorus Took him by the rose Then he turned to stone Yeah, she handed him a rose Left him all alone Verse 4 Well, they lifted the stone And the mapped the stars Brought back the keys And unlocked their hearts And the birds returned With songs in their eyes Chorus With maps to the world Never seen With maps to the world Never seen
