David Hermansson - Dirt And Bones lyrics

I saw a ghost when I was seventeen And she left a scar down in my throat We were so in love when you were eighteen And I would've tattooed your name on my face Your body was my canvas through our sleepless nights And I painted roses on your chest You blew your white smoke right into my lungs So I would never forget your name And dear I would give you everything Just to feel your heart beat on my chest oh one last time And dear, let the silence take you home And stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones I remember your face when I said I'd move away And I stayed up to watch you sleep With blackened dreadlocks on your pillowcase And blood red lips as morning grew We were gonna get married and have kids some day I wish I still were so naive We drove out in the rain to find all of that we'd been looking for But all we found was someone else And dear I would never be scared again If you would hold my hand and rest your lips on my head Dear, it's been years and I guess we've grown But stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones I ran my fingers down your back As the sunlight covered the blinds We rolled around in the roses And you whispered you'd never die And dear I think I've called too many times But it's so damn hard to be left here with my blood full of wine Dear, I have never been so alone Please stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
