Lirik The Shins September
- pontus kindly gave up a pearl
- of his eternal stone and mud
- and ain't she lovely bone and blood
- born of the sea
- a thousand miles away from me
- a court of angels
- wards of the sun
- a future forming
- a curse undone
- under our softly burning lamps she takes her time
- telling stories of our possible lives
- and love is the ink in the well when her body writes
- i've been selfish and full of pride
- and she knows deep down there's a little child
- but i've got a good side to me as well
- and it's that she loves in spite of everything else
- a song in the tree has distracted her mind
- some other curious form of life
- has made its presence to her known
- and she coos so gently, soft and low
- he shining face in a million reflections
- on tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
- over our city like notes from above
- it overwhelms me i just ain't that tough
- it's not that the darkness can't touch our lives
- i know it will in time
- but she's no ordinary valentine
- and now when the sun goes down she sheds a darling light
- i've been selfish and full of pride
- and she knows deep down there's a little child
- but i've got a good side to me as well
- and it's that she loves in spite of everything else
