Plainsong Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
“I think it's dark, and it looks like rain,” you said
“And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world,” you said
“And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead”

[Bridge]

Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
“It's just the way I smile,” you said
[Instrumental Outro]
