Cards Songtext
von Kat Frankie

And right here at the time
You′re running out your mouth
I'm calling you back to me
I watch your hands are slighter than the eye
And surely faster than me
But I held your face tonight
Acquainted with the slow dance of a stranger
Hot than you could know
Yet how could you know?
And hold the sound within
The feeling of the fall is all a delicate show
And curtain cast
A glance across the cards
They ask to be made fools of
But I held your face tonight
Acquainted with the slow dance of a stranger
Hot than you could know
Yet how could you? And how were you to know?
You said when it begins
You crawl out of your skin
If only to survive the coming tide
And when I can see their glassy eyes
It′s late and I'll be waiting by the waterline
And their paper hearts
And suicides across the lawn
A lullaby for the burning palms that risk
And when I recall the promises
Of each of those rectangular faces
You know, you're so original
Original, original
But you say goodnight
And right here at the time
You′re running out your mouth
I′m calling you back to me
