"Black Suit" lyrics
[Michael Halls:]
This one's hard enough to describe, let alone play
I want it to be on a cello, but it might end up being on acoustic guitar
So, like the first part is sort of a mixture between chords and-and like little twinkly bits, that sort of goes
Like that, rhythm
And then like underneath there's a low one
And then like the maddest one is like a baroque-y
And it doesn't matter where they go because the rest of the track just fades in
Evelyn was running like a painting in the rain
While I was beating myself up about some song again
When I heard Tony had died besides my cousins in pain
I feared the passing of time
And felt the winds of change
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
I took some time at the wake to watch my auld fella speak
Commit the lines in his face into my memory
Then I lost sight of my cares after some hours on the ale
Forgot what brought us all there till I saw Marc staring into space
Feeling the winds of change
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
I used to say that I hated weddings
'Til the funerals came around
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I used to say that I hated weddings
'Til the funerals came around
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
Oh, I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I'm getting tired of saying goodbye, goodbye
This one's hard enough to describe, let alone play
I want it to be on a cello, but it might end up being on acoustic guitar
So, like the first part is sort of a mixture between chords and-and like little twinkly bits, that sort of goes
Like that, rhythm
And then like underneath there's a low one
And then like the maddest one is like a baroque-y
And it doesn't matter where they go because the rest of the track just fades in
Evelyn was running like a painting in the rain
While I was beating myself up about some song again
When I heard Tony had died besides my cousins in pain
I feared the passing of time
And felt the winds of change
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
I took some time at the wake to watch my auld fella speak
Commit the lines in his face into my memory
Then I lost sight of my cares after some hours on the ale
Forgot what brought us all there till I saw Marc staring into space
Feeling the winds of change
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
Blowing the roofs off houses it took a lifetime to build
Yeah, I've got a black suit and I still feel like a kid wearing it
I used to say that I hated weddings
'Til the funerals came around
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I used to say that I hated weddings
'Til the funerals came around
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
Now I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
Oh, I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to the people I care about
I'm getting tired of saying goodbye, goodbye
