Judgement Lyrics
Day walks out and there's no sound
There's a candle burning by me now
Light enough for to see the things beyond me
Door is wide as a rise on me
So the night comes in and starts to breath
The only name that I really know
Tell me did he think of me
At a drop of rain, or when you see
When it rakes as it moves across the water
Judgement comes when I'm all alone
Like a spyglass on the furthest coast
Favored now that it's left behind
[Chorus]
When you talk to me
You could swallow me
Nighttime brings me a place I fear
Where I hear your words and feel you near
Fingers only to find a frozen memory
Sometimes clothes chosen long ago
A direction down a gravel road
Makes you wish you could take them back
[Singing]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Days walk on and when there's no sound
I go straight to you and find you down
Kneeling next to the water where I left you
Knee-deep now in the creek I made
From the landscape lost I want to save
Save it now or be punished more
[Chorus]
Nighttime brings me a place I fear
Where I hear your words and feel you near
Fingers never to find a warmer memory
Sometimes friends we knew long ago
Or affections we set free to go
Find you right where you ran to hide
There's a candle burning by me now
Light enough for to see the things beyond me
Door is wide as a rise on me
So the night comes in and starts to breath
The only name that I really know
At a drop of rain, or when you see
When it rakes as it moves across the water
Judgement comes when I'm all alone
Like a spyglass on the furthest coast
Favored now that it's left behind
When you talk to me
You could swallow me
Where I hear your words and feel you near
Fingers only to find a frozen memory
Sometimes clothes chosen long ago
A direction down a gravel road
Makes you wish you could take them back
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I go straight to you and find you down
Kneeling next to the water where I left you
Knee-deep now in the creek I made
From the landscape lost I want to save
Save it now or be punished more
Where I hear your words and feel you near
Fingers never to find a warmer memory
Sometimes friends we knew long ago
Or affections we set free to go
Find you right where you ran to hide

A few corrections:
Day walks out and there's no sound There's a candle burning by me now Light enough for to see the things beyond me Door is wide as her eyes on me So the night comes in and starts to breathe The only name that I really know
Tell me dear, do you think of me At a drop of rain, or when you see The wind, it rakes as it moves across the water Judgement comes when I'm all alone Like a spyglass on the furthest coast Favored now that it's left behind
When you talk to me You could swallow me
Nighttime brings me a place I fear Where I hear your words and feel you near Fingers only to find a frozen memory Sometimes clothes chosen long ago A direction down a gravel road Make you wish you could take them back
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Days walk on and when there's no sound I go straight to you and find you down Kneeling next to the water where I left you Knee-deep now in the creek I made From the landscape lost I want to save Save it now or be punished more
When you talk to me You could swallow me
Nighttime brings me a place I fear Where I hear your words and feel you near Fingers never to find a warmer memory Sometimes friends we knew long ago Or affections we set free to go Find you right where you ran to hide
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm pretty sure the line that says "Makes you wish you could take him back" should read, "Make you wish you could take 'em back".
This is another incredible song by Sam Beam. Just beautiful.
This one's not too hard to interpret. The narrator is lying awake at night thinking of a past love and regretting leaving her.
