Lyric discussion by Codfish 

Cover art for Quince lyrics by Fair to Midland

If anyone was wondering, the lyrics to the second verse might be this-- (credit to the FTM forums) "I learned to stand in Istanbul So I send you my Morse code, Till you capture the syllables. Subtracting the fees under carried time Somewhere over the Great Divide Blacked like a candlestick"

thank god! i've been wondering about that second verse for awhile. however, i think the very last line is "clapped like a canister". with the "the breeze was light burgundy" and my "canister" lines, i get a strong war impression for this song...but hey, what do i know?
