Lyrics The National

The National

29 Years

Could you tell the enchantment I said goodbye

I met a girl called disillusionment

Could you tell her I made the headlines

This boy drawed wings on everything

Could you tell her to check the headlines

This boy burns angels in the river

You know I dreamed about you

For 29 years before

I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for 29 years

Bird that flys out of order

Underneath the sky

I run up to the rainbow, girl

Just to pass it by

I'll never have a change of heart

I swore I'd never sing

I have no heart this one is gone

And now I wear the wings

You know I dreamed about you

For 29 years before

I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you

For 29 years before

I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you

For 29 years before

I saw you
