Sumie Lyrics

MIDNIGHT GLORIES

there is a soft line across the sight
depart in lost signs trying to hide
I’m not to notice
I’m in disguise
kissed on your shoulder
to make you…to make you
find me

midnight glories of walking stories
that rust in daylight to drown
midnight glories of walking stories
that burns in starlight to shine

there is an old street to every house
keeping your gold key till she arrives
I’m not to notice
I’m in disguise
kissed on your shoulder
to make you…to make you
find me

midnight glories of walking stories
that rust in daylight to drown
midnight glories of walking stories
that burns in starlight to shine

SAILOR FRIENDS

she made this up
she made this up
to be a sailor friend
a sailor friend
dressed just like a rose
you know, cause your’e a sailor friend
we trip, we slip
we can’t pretend
cause we are sailor friends
we are sailor friends
end, ends….

LET YOU GO

this irregular beat down my chest will soon feed
I run down, down my shoes to jump in the ocean that you live

look at me now holding our lies
so don’t define, no don’t define me
I hear your heart go
so hear my heart know
I’m here to let you go

the dirt of a steady lead
the love for a lightning speed in ground
your touch is tainted by the dog you hold under your arm

look at me now holding our lies
so don’t define, no don’t define me
I hear your heart go
so hear my heart know
I’m here to let you go

LATER FLIGHTS

see the words fall
too deep for me
dance away far
I can’t feel my feet
to know who you are
I fall to breathe

time goes by in later flights
time goes by to run us high

winter knows how
a night heart beats, a night heart beats
like wings they know why
a knife must bleed
to know who I am
I fall to breathe

time goes by in later flights
time goes by to run us high

SPEED INTO

you say that I’m amazing
yet you don’t know what I do
you fold my words to hold them
until they sound like you
please, take my shoes and walk them
you need to wear them soon

slowly…slowly I speed into
slowly…slowly I speed into you

my love is known by finding
shadows in the dark
my kiss is cold pretending
I am what you want
the thought of us escaping
takes me through the lot

slowly…slowly I speed into
slowly…slowly I speed into you

SHOW TALKED WINDOWS

I thought of leaving next to you
hold, hold it
I long for the heart to fade the truth
to hold, hold my soul through it

show talked windows
cold rain coats
slow sparked candles
fought in the storms

you washed all the shapes to find me
a ghost in gold among the silver
so I will hold, hold on to you

show talked windows
cold rain coats
slow sparked candles
fought in the storms

NEVER WANTED TO BE

what’s the point of pushing me down
what’s the point of telling you now
I knew that you would dive

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be a a lover of someone’s night
I never wanted to be caught in a cage where
my heart locked herself out
I never wanted to be

what’s the catch that I need to unseal
what is real in this dream, is that I’m far away
too far for me to pay

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be a a lover of someone’s night
I never wanted to be caught in a cage where
my heart locked herself out
I never wanted to be

what’s the point of pushing me down
what’s the point of telling you now
I knew that you would dive

BURDEN OF EASE

act to complete my end
I move in electronic sends
I grow old of being bold and cheap
got a view from a phase
inhale to ecstatic haze
I watch his hand unfold
while the moon touched my soul

the final cut is showing life
to pass us by
when we sleep
the shine you need shares a glow
but you don’t know
you don’t see
you don’t hear
her weep

when our time turns to slow
and you and I again share homes
in life free of forms
where words are untold

the final cut is showing life
to pass us by
when we sleep
the shine you need shares a glow
but you don’t know
you don’t see
you don’t hear
her weep
give me a heart to please
a burden of ease

HUNTING SKY

my flight in trust is locked away in loss
I saw your hat and I walked
along the stars down your spine

a hunting sky
with a bow made in clouds can shoot us down

my solid house origamid twice
fell from the cliff of our loving lies
oh, marshall oh, marshall
don’t empty more of his heart

a hunting sky
with a bow made in clouds can shoot us down

SPELLS YOU

room through the corners where it knows that she failed you
oh, darling she failed you
spins like a wheel to seal the holes that she made you
wait in float in

hold me down from my diamond nights
the sand pours time and it spells you

the truth I knew is drowned by shores that I cling to
I claimed too soon
the kindness of a morning learned to burn you

oh, save me
oh, saving the fool

hold me down from my diamond nights
the sand pours time and it spells you

  1. I’m in love with Spells You. It’s sooo beautiful and magical and I’ve been trying to figure it out on my guitar, but can’t for some reason, though it seems so simple. Do you have the chords or tabs anywhere? (Is it a nonstandard tuning?) xx

    1. Thank you Katie, Spells You is played in a Drop D tuning.
