Ryan Adams And The Cardinals - Sink Ships lyrics

Sunlight falls on your hands As you type, Well just something in my head Standing in this empty space Your desk is gone But the wall's still dark from where it went This position is not open now, for applicants The application forms got shredded There was faulty wording in the documents I can still hear you laughing Coming up them rickety stairs Laughing as the springtime Filled your lungs with air Spare notes rung out Like the patches of your hair Like violets Like birds inside the bells A gray ghost prowls In the back of my mind While the sun is out (No its still up and the light is shining) Its seasons push and pull enough to get us Through well but my mind is open now, No more than a door is open to an empty room The position is not open now, for applicants The application forms got shredded, There was faulty wording in the documents I can still hear you laughing Coming up them rickety stairs Laughing as the springtime Filled your lungs with air Spare notes rung out Like the patches of your hair Like violets Like birds inside the bells If somehow, I'd have known, I'd have rather gone Down with the ship than be with out, If only for the chance, to hold your hand, To be your friend I never got a last time, I would've rather gone Down, than this The war is over The war is over The war is over, and I am wading In the sinking ships If only I'd have known If only I'd have known
