Adam Barnes - Florence lyrics

We're buried beneath with mountains to climb We're drowning away with water and wine Were you watching the wolves, our very first kiss Wipe the tears from your face, the taste from your lips We'll sit in communion, our hands in our laps Writing prayers for a God who will never pray back We won't last for forever, make best with your time We're the last of our fathers, the first of our kind So no one believes me, it wasn't so easy to say I offered the world to a heartbroken girl and she left me and stole it away This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless but no one believes what I say Oh I'll follow the birds, 'cause they're always there to chase I'll sit here remembering what I have got left The scars; the words that escape from my chest Let the birds fly for winter to the heat of the south I will die by the summer, I will die by myself In the freshest of airs, the calmest of storms With the blue lights approaching I'll lay in your arms I will die like religion, I'm weak with my facts But the people will wait, oh the birds will come back So Father believe me, it wasn't so easy to say I offered the world to a heartbroken girl and she left me and stole it away This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless but no one believes what I say Oh I'll follow the birds, 'cause they're always there to chase
