Birdy Lyrics for Song: The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
 Lyrics for Album: Birdy [2011]
 
 
 
 25745>Smeared black ink
 
 Your face is all sweat
 
 And I'm barely listening
 
 To last demands
 
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
 
 What's buried underneath
 
 Where I am, where I am
 
 
 
 I'll wear my badge
 
 A vinyl sticker with big block letters
 
 Adherent to my chest
 
 That tells your new friends
 
 I am a visitor here: I am not permanent
 
 And the only thing keeping me dry is
 
 Where I am (You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex)
 
 Where I am (A stranger with your door key explaining
 
 that I'm just visiting)
 
 Where I am (And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving)
 
 (Why I was the one worth leaving)
 
 
 
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight
 
 D.C. sleeps alone tonight
 
 
 
 Where I am (You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex)
 
 Where I am (A stranger with your door key explaining
 
 that I'm just visiting)
 
 Where I am (And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving)
 
 (Why I was the one worth leaving)
 
 
 
 The district sleeps alone tonight
 
 After the bars turn out their lights
 
 And leave the autos swerving
 
 Into the loneliest evening
 
 And I am finally seeing
 
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 
 Why I was the one worth leaving
 
 Why I was the one worth leaving
