Sumney, Moses - Everlasting Sigh Lyrics






Sighing on the embers of a fire
That must be allowed to die
The bed of coal, it must run cold in time
But your body heat brings life

Crying in a river running dry
Made your eyes a clouded sky
But if you're a god
Made from a God
Made from a god
Let your whispered word be divine

If vultures can be soul birds, let it die
Leaning on the everlasting sigh

Creator, you create monstrous men
From the ink that clots your pen
Running on a sentence that must end
So your bones can rise again

If vultures can be soul birds, let it die
Leaning on the everlasting sigh

    Lyrics (some words vary per performance):

    Sayonara embers of the fire
    That must be allowed to die
    The bed of coal, it must run cold, in time
    But your body heat brings life

    Crying in a river running dry
    Made your eyes a clouded sky
    But if you’re a god, made from a god, made from a god
    Let your whispered words be divine

    If vultures can be soul birds let it die
    Leaning on the everlasting sigh

    Creator you create monstrous men
    From the ink that clogs your pen
    Running on the sentence that must end
    So your soul can rise again

    If vultures can be soul birds let it die
    Leaning on the everlasting sigh

  32. D.... D....

    The beginning made me think of "Take Five" by Al Jareau. This is nice. Thanks!

    D.... D....

    Thought that was Dave Brubeck? Maybe Al Jareau does a cover of it. Either way, you're right, I get that vibe too. That, or 15 Step by Radiohead.

  33. N.... ....

    amazing

  34. T.... P....

    Awesomeness

    Sayonara embers of the fire
    That must be allowed to die
    The bed of coal, it must run cold, in time
    But your body heat brings life
    Crying in a river running dry
    Made your eyes a clouded sky
    But if you’re a god, made from a god, made from a god
    Let your whispered words be divine

    If vultures can be soul birds let it die
    Leaning on the everlasting sigh
    Creator you create monstrous men
    From the ink that clogs your pen
    Running on the sentence that must end
    So your soul can rise again
    If vultures can be soul birds let it die

  42. B.... R....

    Feeling the Tune Yards inspiration from this guy. Love it!!!

    B.... R....

    @Ballet Roses lol no offense if you didnt notice, but tune yards appropriates alot from african music. From the layered vocals to give the effect of a chant or the african instrumentals, to the inflection and soul. This man just has alot of inspiration from his roots, definitely not tune yards. Its like saying people take graceland by paul simon as inspiration instead of the actual root in africa.

    B.... R....

    Right. Obviously. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Love both of these artists! :D

  43. N.... B....

    nice!!!

  44. s.... ....

    Jesus he is so beautiful.

  45. p.... ....

    Gahdamn??? He's mad talented. Like?

  46. T.... M....

    For the 3 people who dislikes this....do you have ears? Do you have senses? This was A+mazing

  47. K.... C....

    Check out his song, "Alchemy," it's beautiful!! (So is this song).

  48. L.... ....

    Love it ~ so easy to listen to.

  49. T.... S....

    There aren't enough good things i can say about this performance and the execution...

  50. y.... g....

    I saw Moses on KCET for the first time and he took my breath away. Just outright amazing voice and talent. He's gonna come up BIG. 

  51. N.... C....

    damn. i was friends with this dude in college. he's already making it big. congrats moses

    N.... C....

    Have you seen his current world tour, Nicholas? https://www.mosessumney.com/

  52. A.... T....

    Goosebumps

  53. N.... H....

    This guy opened for Local Natives at the Pageant in St.Louis. He was excellent. Both funny, entertaining, and best of all human.

    N.... H....

    Just saw him at The Ryman in Nashville, opening for them also! 100% agree.

    N.... H....

    @Shelby Van Buren Yeah he was great! When he came out he said "I'm Moses Sumney also known as not Local Natives" He also said that his purpose was to get us emotionally ready which worked for me. Did he play Plastic in Nashville? That was my favorite song in his St.Louis set which I'm assuming is more or less the same,

    N.... H....

    @Nathan Huff Yes! He said something to a similar degree - made me laugh! Plastic was my favorite as well. 

  54. D.... S....

    Anyone know what looper he's using?

  55. m.... ....

    live looper!

  56. S.... T....

    beat reminds me of 15 Step by Radiohead :)

    S.... T....

    Oh my god, it does. I love radiohead.

    S.... T....

    S.... T....

    He's the lost son of Björk and Thom Yorke
