Firewater - Make Do And Mend

Tonight I set out

On a journey from behind your ears and your neck down

Along the sharp curves of your spine

I hear you whispering

Like a seashell that is trying to keep the ocean in

Tucked in the sand dunes of your skin

No matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away

And there’s nothing that we can say

You’re leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address

And I’m standing on its doorstep

And later on I ignore the calls

While I watch the shapes our shadows take dancing on the walls

I’m here with you, and you are here with me, and nothing can go wrong

At least until the morning comes

But I can almost see the sunlight through the window

And I can almost taste the warm tears in your eyes

So I wrap my arms around your waist and pull you close to say

«Endlessly, you belong with me.»

No matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away

And there’s nothing that we can say

You’re leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address

And I’m standing on its doorstep

There’s no pain I won’t endure

To keep my fingers locked in yours;

No distance I won’t go

Goodbye Sky Harbor.

Over, out, alone
