I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes
And I know heaven´s here tonight I know heaven´s here tonight, I know
She graced the stage with sweet arrest And paused to smoke her cigarettes Sang of love and she sang of friends She sang of how the winter ends And I know heaven´s here tonight I know heaven´s here tonight, I know
She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Said, oh, you´d have to be a man to know I´ve seen them laugh and I´ve seen them cry But I still can´t figure out this life Oh, I´d have to be a man to know
Her voice it pulls and runs tonight
Reminds me of a love once mine Dumb and sweet untampered nights Drinking all your parents´ wine And I would take off all your clothes I would take off all your clothes again
Florence sings I escape a while From feeling lost and broken wide Funny how you think you find The answers no one ever finds Guess I am just a fickle child I´m just a fickle child still
She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Said oh you´d have to be a man to know I´ve seen them bleed and I´ve seen them smile But I still can´t figure out this life
Oh I´d have to be a man to know
Oh she looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Says oh you´d have to be a man to know Dream all you want of a simpler time But this ain´t 1965 And oh you´d have to be a man to know Oh you´d have to be a man to know Oh you´d have to be a man to know
I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes And I know heaven´s here tonight I know heaven´s here tonight, I know
