Midas Tongue Lyrics

[Verse]
The devil made the water warm
And the fruit trees call out for us to taste them all
Little heart, I poured your wine and you poured mine

[Verse]
Heaven isn't always kind
Saying stars are far away and the sunset's gray
Wind is in the heavy wings and the light stone sings

[Chorus]
Halos, and the night falls free
Falling not for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those

[Verse]
God is breathing on the shore
We become his word, disappear and reemerge
Even borrowed love is sung in a Midas tongue

[Verse]
Little heart, I knew you well
You were kin and my kind when I lost you in the tide
Sing a star for all that glows in the undertow
[Chorus]
Halos and the night falls free
Falling not for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
