Dark Roman Wine Lyrics
I will hang on the hook of your splendor
As the night rolls us up in its arms
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
Is a blanket of the sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
Now it's out to the stars or the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the land turns to sand
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
At all just to fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the car shaved the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the land turns to sand
As the night rolls us up in its arms
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
Is a blanket of the sky that's so warm
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
Now it's out to the stars or the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the land turns to sand
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
At all just to fly for sheer joy
And the car shaved the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the land turns to sand

I added Up To Now to my collection this past weekend and, in the process, fell for this song. I just can't shake it- not that I would want to though. It truly is glorious.
Btw, while I could be mistaken, I think the lyrics are "until the land turns to sand".
I think it's
"I know it's late but i can't help but thinking"
"Now it's out to the stars OR the ocean"
"And I HOLD it so close to my chest"
"At all just to fly for sheer joy"
I love this song SO MUCH, it is so powerful and beautiful and the lyric are GENIUS... (but then so is Gary Lightbody so that makes perfect sense) :D
according to the official snow patrol website and their lyrics it's "until the land turns to sand"
Much like 'give me strength' another great new song to add to the best of album looking forward to their reworked album coming up soon :):):)
the word 'romantic' has never been as well placed than when describing this song. gorgeous! just makes me think of warm, lazy summer nights. definately a wedding song!
I think that it's about a man and woman who went on a date and had a few too many. He's enjoying just laying around with her, and he doesn't want the night to end.
It's "until light turns to sound"
