  • Sally, things close early
    It's a holiday
    They tell me

    How long
    Have you lived here?
    Have you seen
    The river?

    Do you know the proper way
    To ask for a cigarette?

    I'm asking before winter comes

    Stay here with me 'til morning
    With the three-man orchestra playing
    I ask a fortune teller
    What they whisper when
    I walk by

    Do you know the proper way
    To ask for a cigarette?
    I'm asking before winter comes

    All the people run from the horizon
    All the people run from the horizon
    All the people run from the horizon
    All the people run from the horizon
    All the people run from the horizon
    Staying late, waking late, on the horizon
    All the people run from the horizon Writer/s: JULIA HOLTER
