Eleanor Friedberger - All Known Things lyrics

Sun can set and scatter For an hour on the horizon The clouds can all collide a scoop Right before my eyes And the sweetest bird on Earth can sing The best round of all time can ring Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things I'm at the exhibition, in the womb of the museum I pay for admition, no kissing in the mausoleum Even if you have a twin, I wouldn't notice her or him Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things Walk along the ruins, and watch the haze dissolve the skyline At the hotel we saw in spring, abandoned now to decay As your beauty stands along Amongst all known things Million suns in distant space, Will shine a little brighter Throw a shadow on your face And blind me with the light. Words are still discovering Will give us better suns to sing Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things Your beauty stands along Amongst all known things, all known things [guitars break]
