Stephin Merritt - Parades Go By lyrics

I'll linger here Your ring upon my finger dear And sing till dawn A song of you and me and what and why For time is all I have to keep Between these walls And half asleep [Chorus] The days go by A million little Nights and days go by And I don't mind Parades go by So many beautiful Parades go by Leave me behind I'll sit and stare How could I venture anywhere And let the centuries fall where they may But never die For I have loved And so I lost the world above Beyond the moss… [Chorus 2x]
