The Crane Wives - Canary In A Coal Mine lyrics

You and I are friends of empty graves Black air and black, black lungs Am I the only thing that keeps you safe When the light is gone? But I still hold out hope that maybe someday I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my wake. Feed me promises, keep my heart well, I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede But if in the end I lose my voice, Will you forget about your love for me? And I still hold out hope that maybe someday I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my wake. And when you break the surface, oh without me Please don't return me to the of unloved memories
