What This Night Is For lyrics

Damien Rice

She's got a place within the woods
Where she swings near the house in the trees
And she's got a way with animals
And invites me along to get free
There's an army of men who'd shoot for her
Even goddesses watch when she moves
Her friends get us high
And something opens up the sky
And fills us with nothing to lose
Oh and we've never been in this place before
No, not as it is right now
And we may never know what this night is for
So for now we'll just sit around
And he's got a way of lingering
Like a ghost that just won't go away
And he's got a place within the wind
He's around but I know he won't stay
There's an army of stars that crash the night
They would burn him but still it was cold
So we dared the gods to come and sit and talk with us
We were bruised, we were spilled, we were bold
Oh and we've never been in this place before
No, not as it is right now, right now
And we may never know what this night is for
So for now we'll just sit around
Yeah, for now we'll just sit around
Oh 'cause we've never been in this place before
No, not as it is right now, right now
And we may never know what this life and love and living is for
So for now we'll just sit around
Yeah, for now we'll just sit around
