The Civil Wars CD of 2013

So, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. The day The Civil Wars would come out with a new CD. And let me just say I am more than impressed. I love their sound so much. Top favorite songs: Same Old Same Old, From this Valley, and Sacred Heart. Sacred Heart is in french and I looked up the translation in English and it is soooooo beautiful. Can't wait for Abby to get home so she can sing it to me in French :D here's the lyrics to these beautiful songs.

                                                              "Same Old Same Old"

I wanna leave you
I wanna lose us
I wanna give up
But I won’t

I wanna miss this
I want a heartache
I wanna run away
But I won’t

‘Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
same old, same old
Well, I don’t
I don’t

I’m gonna break things
I’m gonna cross the line
And make you wake up
‘cause you won’t

I’m gonna name names
I’m gonna call us out
I’m gonna say it
If you won’t

Do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Well, I don’t

Oh I don’t wanna fight
But I’ll fight with you
If I have to, if I have to

‘Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Same old, same old
Well, I don’t
I don’t

"From This Valley"

Oh the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me

Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love

Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for its mother
May you hold me in your grace

Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love

Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh

Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh Jesus, carry me

Oh won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love

Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love

"Sacred Heart"

When I walk in the street

The street to the Sacred Heart

I remember the promises

In the name of love

I'll wait for you there

Will you come for me?

I'll wait for you there

only you

You can stand

Until the sun hides

And kiss me softly

Until he returns

I'll wait for you there

Will you come for me?

I'll wait for you there

only you

You may take the delay

You may have missed your train

You can not possibly forgive me

The shadows grow

And the crowds disappear

I'll wait for you there

Will you come for me?

I'll wait for you there

only you
