The Anchorites - Nora

The lights aren’t keeping me afloat
And my eyes still sting from the sea
I’m holding on to someone in the background
But I don’t think there’s anyone but me
I found her dancing on the corner
With the San Juan sun shining down
She didn’t say a word but I didn’t need to hear
And we laid our bodies on the ground
Let’s fall apart across the ocean
And see if we can make it to the moon
But if we break before we’re born
Nora won’t you sing another tune
I’ll build us a home in the mountains
Far, far away we will be
Just picture her now, in a red linen dress
And she’ll look like you and me
Though I’m tired and torn
And you don’t quite look the same
I’ll hold your hand, and pretend that we can
Remember each other’s names
Let’s fall apart across the ocean
And see if we can make it to the moon
But if we break before we’re born
Nora won’t you sing another tune
Nora won’t you sing another tune
Nora won’t you sing another tune
