Parades Go By-The Magnetic Fields

I'll linger here
your ring upon my finger dear
and sing till dawn
a song of you and me
and what and why
for time is all I have to keep
between these walls
and half asleep

The days go by
a million little nights and days go by
and I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind.

I'll sit and stare
how could I venture anywhere
and let the centuries fall where they may
but never die
for I have loved
and so I lost the world above
beyond the moss

The days go by
a million little nights and days go by
and I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind.

The days go by
Parades go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
Parades go by
Leave me behind.
