I've been on a Beirut kick this week so I decided to cover one of their more well-known songs. Includes a little bit of me hitting myself, which I learned last week at Pinewoods.
lyrics
Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
But it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise their voices
Just another night in Nantes
Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
But in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
And it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
