Cynics Lyrics by The Northern Folk

Watermark

2019

[Verse 1]
Well I hung my sheets and stomped the streets
In a Richmond summer rain
And I saw this girl who smiled just like you
Well I burned with regret, like my first cigarette
As you crossed my mind again
And I watched her pass in the polish on my shoe
See, there was a time when you were mine
And the world was mine as well
But I’ve a mind as stubborn as a mule
And love, it waits at no man’s gate
It rings at no man’s bell
And I boarded all my doors up like a fool
[Chorus]
Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Well darling, I’d be drunk by now
[Verse 2]
There’s someone new, he’s not like you
He keeps it all inside
I’d sooner summon blood out of a stone
Ain’t it strange how some things change
But others don’t subside
I’m just terrified we’ll both end up alone
[Chorus]
Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Well darling, I’d be drunk by now
Oh darling, I’d be drunk by now
[Chorus]
Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Well darling, I’d be drunk by now
Oh darling, I’d be drunk by now
Oh darling, I’d be drunk by now
