Lyrics: Will Stratton. What The Night Said. I'd Hate To Leave You.


Look at this lonely town
with the graveyards in the center
with angels on the markers in the dark

and you understand what I
I mean when I say
that I'm heartless
just like flint that never sparks

I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good
I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good

Look at the dancelit sky
with the people gathered outside
waiting for the services that night

and afterwards they'll sing
sing in the streets
about the coming of the days
that try our rights

do they realize
that everyones to blame
and we sit back and act like we're ashamed

when really there's no end
to the ignorance to fend off
that puts them all against the rain

I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good
I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good

I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good
I'd hate to leave you
I'd love to leave you for good
