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
Says: 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 of a love once mine
Dumb and sweet unhampered nights
Drinking all your parents' wine
And I would take off all her clothes
I would take off all her clothes again
Florence sings, I escape a while
From feeling lost and broken wide
Funny how you think you'd 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
Says: 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
Said: 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
