Florence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know [Verse 2] She graced the stage with sweet arrest And paused to smoke her cigarettes Sang of love and she sang of friends She sang of how the winter ends And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know [Refrain] She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Said, oh, you'd have to be a man to know I've seen them laugh and I've seen them cry But I still can't figure out this life Oh, I'd have to be a man to know [Verse 3] Her voice it pulls and runs tonight Reminds me of a love once mine Dumb and sweet untampered nights Drinking all your parents' wine And I would take off all your clothes I would take off all your clothes again [Verse 4] Florence sings I escape a while From feeling lost and broken wide Funny how you think you find The answers no one ever finds Guess I am just a fickle child I'm just a fickle child still [Refrain] She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Said oh you'd have to be a man to know I've seen them bleed and I've seen them smile But I still can't figure out this life Oh I'd have to be a man to know [Refrain] Oh she looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Says oh you'd have to be a man to know Dream all you want of a simpler time But this ain't 1965 And oh you'd have to be a man to know Oh you'd have to be a man to know Oh you'd have to be a man to know [Outro] I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know
