Soak

I remember when Finbar's angel sang her song

Dressed in heather together we were dangerous as dawn

Your skin like a leaf delicate and pure

Veins of gold made you bold and that made me sure

I remember you cried so much you laughed

Dry stone walls harbouring the salt in my eyes

I am the waves washed beneath your feet

I'd run to you like autumn runs to spring

I remember us soaking up sun like moss

We were thunder and lightning

We were memory and loss

I remember your shirt ripped on the graveyard fence

And those broken blue shells

In that crows broken nest

Soak me now in your sweet memories

As I watch your words dance like birds in the breeze

Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth

And I miss you more now than my words can repeat

I remember I told you I hadn't a clue

That day by the sea and you all dressed in blue

I remember I told you not to lie

And I remember you promised me that you'd try

I remember the day when the trees became undressed

And I remember I thought for me you'd be death

And I I remember feeling so sickly in love with my

Thoughts on the table like cards in a pub

I remember that day when you were just you and I

Remember the second I fell for it too

I remember when I sunk into you like a bog

To forget

I cannot

Soak me now in your sweet memories

As I watch your words dance like birds in the breeze

Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth

And I miss you more now than my words can repeat

Soak me now in your sweet memories

As I watch your words dance like birds in the breeze

Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth

And I miss you more now than my words can repeat

Soak me now in your sweet memories

As I watch your words dance like birds in the breeze

Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth

And I miss you more now than my words can repeat
