Nica Libres At Dusk by Ben Howard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she is reading
The evacuation procedure
Out loud
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she is dreaming
Of Caribbean Nica Libres
At dusk

[Chorus]
While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains whisper knowingly
I order a colada and sit to count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

[Verse 2]
Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she is reading
The evacuation procedure
Out loud
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she is dreaming
Of Caribbean Nica Libres
At dusk
[Chorus]
While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains rumble knowingly
I order a colada and sit to count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

[Post-Chorus]
Forever, forever
Such a beautiful thing

[Chorus]
Now I am older, I don't look over my shoulder
I know what is there in front of me
Ten Marlboro cigarettes
The rolled the butts into the bottle tops
Today I will stare at the sea
Till my eyes have had enough

[Post-Chorus]
Enough, enough
Is that enough?

[Instrumental Outro]
