Aria Lyrics by Nightjars

Modjeska

2021

You were not a cathedral, love
I knew that when I met you
But I still wear this ring like i’m still young

And even though I do my best
To find you in the quietness
Less often now, I still bite my tongue

Summer comes in waves
And I never felt safe
Maybe it’s not the same
So give it a different name

Oh, I try to tell ya
But my words rot before they’re ripe
They were born at thе wrong time

And now 400 years have passеd
Since last October burnt her last –
But you never cared, guess now you never will

I dreamt I was an astronaut
Then I woke up and I forgot
But in the dawn, the moon was rising still

Autumn comes in waves
And still I don’t feel safe
Maybe they’re not the same
So give one a different name

Oh, I tried to warn ya
But my words were all born freaks
They all looked just like me

The lamplight like a swarm of bees
Comes pouring through the centuries
Tonight I’ll sing her songs about the moon

And you are like a telescope
Turned wrong way round, held much too close
I never sang this aria for you

Well, winter goes in waves
And even this will break
No more of these golden flames
No more of this crumbling name

Oh, please tell my daughter
She has her mother’s face
But somehow she’ll be safe

That I will keep her safe

The years will go in waves
But she’ll live to see the day
Maybe she’s not the same
But she’ll find a different name

Tonight, I’m gonna sing her
The loveliest lullaby

And she’ll turn out all right
And she’ll turn out all right
And she’ll turn out all right
