Angel Olsen - Lonely Universe lyrics

Your hands were cold Your voice was shaky One morning not too long ago And at the time I was only a child About to lose my childlike mind The way you touched my hands Like you never had before It wasn't you anymore I called for my brothers I called for my sisters But there was nothing left for them to do And so I watched from far away As the ambulances came And started dressing for school Goodbye sweet mother earth Without you now I'm a lonely universe You won't always understand When you've truly loved someone Until after they've gone This time of year the nights fall longer So grow a spine or catch cold The winter months they do make you feel stronger But in the end it's all getting old And you won't always be walking the safest streets But you can find your way home If you have imagined your way back Then my dear you're more than halfway there And you might only possess What you've carried on your back But you've always been free Now it's time to believe Time to give up that unforgiving act of altogetherness And start living out your oldest childhood dreams Well, losing your minds it ain't half as bad as it seems And if you would take the risk Well, it might be worth your time It's only your life It's only going by Goodbye sweet mother earth Without you now I'm a lonely universe You won't always understand When you've truly loved someone Until after they've gone
