The Magnetic Fields Lyrics
"Parades Go By"

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...
