Half Light II Lyrics

Now that San Francisco's gone
I guess I'll just pack it in
Wanna wash away my sins
In the presence of my friends

You and I we head back east
To find a town where we could live
Even in the half-light we can see
That something's gotta give

When we watched the markets crash
The promises we made were torn
Then my parents sent for me
From out west where I was born

Some people say we've already lost
But they're afraid to pay the cost
For what we've lost
Pay the cost for what we've lostThe Arcade Fire - Half Light II - http://motolyrics.com/the-arcade-fire/half-light-ii-lyrics.html

Now that you have left me here
I will never raise my voice
All the diamonds you have hid
In this home which has no life

Oh this city's changed so much
Since I was a little child
Pray to God I won't live to see
The death of everything that's wild

Though we knew this day would come
Still it took us by surprise
In this town where I was born
I now see through a dead man's eyes

One day they will see it's long gone
One day they will see it's long gone
One day they will see it's long gone
