Best of the Best of Times Lyrics by Darlingside

Extralife

2018

[Verse 1]
When the world speaks
It rattles to me like an antique
Or maybe it rings
Like an old bell
Wishing us some kind of farewell
A wave in the window
A beacon
The battened-down end of a season
Lullaby blue
It is two doves
Shot in the heat of the summer
And truer than words
[Chorus]
We're a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
[Verse 2]
There’s a broken
Clock tower out in the ocean
Holding me under
The table
Tipping me down like a cradle
Drowning me out
With an amen
Heralding heaven and Auld Lang Syne
And “everything’s fine”
[Chorus]
We're a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
A long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
[Verse 3]
And I wonder
Whether our days are unnumbered
If one is the same
As another
Whether we mistook the colors
For the real thing
If we’ll ring out
Brimming and broken and somehow
Truer than blue
And then come to
Pulled from the wreck in the daybreak
All equal and safe
[Chorus]
We're a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
A long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
