I'll be going to see Bat For Lashes perform tonight in D.C. I don't go out like this, ever almost. I first heard of Natasha Khan and her group in 2007 after her first album came out and the quirky music video for "what's a girl to do?" was floating around the internet semi-viral. I love her singing and her visuals. THis will be a happy girl tonight (me).
Sleep Alone
You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own
You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can grow
But the darkness is a stranger in our lonely, lonely, lonely lone (?)
Last night's parties and last night's heart has shown
Smiling and welling and kissing all I know
Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea
Lonely spell to conjure you, but conjure hell is all I do
Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream
Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream
They say for every heart high there must be a low, low, low, low, low
And every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow, grow, grow, grow
Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning heart's desire
The only spells you'll be seeing, do you hear me coming in my blue dream
Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream
Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream
