Charlie Simpson - Winter Hymns lyrics

Sands dripping down from our feet right beneath the pier’s edge where we were first to meet and I caught you once but you let me down twice I don’t know how And there’s a place we would all go to sing we’d gather round the old town church to hear those bells ring I’ll never forget those days when I was worthy of your love I promise I won’t make a sound cos I figure you no longer want me around and I know that the days will pa** and soon we’ll be rid of these things so let soft words be spoken and join in these winter hymns Crows flying out with old wings bated breath with lungs that barely have the strength to sing and I fought you once but you let me win twice I don’t know why And there’s a chapter that I keep on trying to read But the pages stick and crumble where your fingers used to be I’ll never forget your hands cos they were always pushing me I promise I won’t make a sound cos I figure you no longer want me around and I know that the days will pa** and soon we’ll be rid of these things so let brave words be spoken and join in these winter hymns Just let us grow your patience was lost in the sea just don’t go and all this darkness will come my heart is in stormy weather and the pain is all I have for now and I’m homebound
