The Henrys - A Night Beyond Repair Lyrics

Past southern shrines
Made up minds
Liquor stores and copper mines
She saw the Angel Oak one day
Drove out west but unimpressed
Came back home to decompress
Said we're much better than all of this
Busy roads, ethylene
Little children quarantined
There's a view from
Widow Rock to sea
The lake is down and losing ground
People watching with no sound
Say we're much better
Than all of this
As light well knows
What matters is it shows
On the faces of the workers
As they come and go
Bringing home a decent pay
To picnic on a Saturday
And maybe fly one day to Mexico
Life gets away
Like a mink slips into Shanty Bay
Takes a breath and gone
You wait too long to talk
Guilty or just scared to balk
As truth shines in
Like the morning sun
Now it's one more Friday night
And soon she can't talk
And soon he can't walk
And someone trips the fire door
How we gettin' home tonight guys
How we gettin' home
The landscape changed
It's rearranged
Let's steal a boat and row
Moon shines on the bay
They're coming for us anyway
From Government Dock
We'll sprint the blocks
To home and light of day
You heal, you cry
You burn away inside
No need to say how hard you tried
Just carry on
Morning calls, evening falls
Streets, paths and dim-lit halls
Just go until you find your way
And work until you're done
How we gettin' home tonight
How we gettin' there
Friends are out and all about
And it's like some county fair
How we gettin' home tonight
And do we really care
Toss your keys to the summer breeze
The moon will pull us there
We live for this impromptu bliss
A night beyond repair
As candles on the water
Glow like evening prayer

Past southern shrines
Made up minds
Liquor stores and copper mines
She saw the Angel Oak one day
Drove out west but unimpressed
Came back home to decompress
Said we're much better than all of this
Busy roads, ethylene
Little children quarantined
There's a view from
Widow Rock to sea
The lake is down and losing ground
People watching with no sound
Say we're much better
Than all of this
As light well knows
What matters is it shows
On the faces of the workers
As they come and go
Bringing home a decent pay
To picnic on a Saturday
And maybe fly one day to Mexico
Life gets away
Like a mink slips into Shanty Bay
Takes a breath and gone
You wait too long to talk
Guilty or just scared to balk
As truth shines in
Like the morning sun
Now it's one more Friday night
And soon she can't talk
And soon he can't walk
And someone trips the fire door
How we gettin' home tonight guys
How we gettin' home
The landscape changed
It's rearranged
Let's steal a boat and row

Glow like evening prayer
