Isabella Songtext
von Hamilton Leithauser

"Gonna rock till dawn"
Isabella sings
And when our dreaming dies away
Well, I′ll be glad I did

Well, it's after midnight
Gonna find some friends
Gonna waltz up 94th Street
In a wide-eyed trance

"Gonna rock till dawn"
Isabella sings
And when our dreaming dies away
Well, I′ll be glad I did

All her younger sweethearts
Are starstruck wall-street wolves
She knows they'll always go down swinging
And she knows they're always gonna fall


"Gonna rock till dawn"
Isabella sings
She did a year in a college around here
But she never left, and she never will

I wanna be there with her
Till they all go riding home
Well, she can have a laugh and all that
Till they all go riding home (till they all go riding home)
Till they all go riding home (till they all go riding home)

At night I go to sleep (till they all go riding home)
To the rhythm of the passing traffic (till they all go riding home)
On Amsterdam Avenue (till they all go riding home)
And I wonder
I wonder where you are (till they all go riding home)

Your sweet dreams never burned you out
But none of them have answers now
Your sweet dreams never burned you out
But none of them have answers now, oh babe

When they all go riding home
When they all go riding home
