Martin Bak - Nichole lyrics

Down in Pennsylvania, tired smiles and broken cars Maybe I could meet you there, Nichole Drowning in my empathy, the wicked eyes I could not see Stared and stared and shattered all my bones And you said "Don't forget the reason you are here Your heart could fuel the moonlight with its fever Leave all that you've known down by the water You're bruised but you're not dying Rest your burning eyes You're only just a child Put away your knives" You rose from childhood suffering, an ache inside too deep to reach But close enough for all the world to feed The stars were never quite aligned, god was never on your side But you became a precious burning light Don't let any earthly force defeat you I won't forget the reasons that I need you Spoke so soft and loved just like a mother I won't let you down I'll hold my head up high I'll be the gun and I'll be the one who points it to the sky Down in Pennsylvania, sinking ships and baby shoes And a love so strong it burns the city down If I escape what I've been told, if I make it through this year alone Maybe I could meet you there, Nichole
