From the recording Comedown
Lyrics
Sundown
Too late now
To follow you home so,
Comedown
From that throne
You pose on and lean on for safety
I won't be the one
To steal your crown
I won't be the one
To make you
Chase me
Down that road
Say, do you remember the
Time we
Kissed under
The willow tree at dusk
You told me I
Was your love
And you gently, so gently
Laid me down
Wake up
To the sound
Of your dead beat heart and
A whisper
From your lips
Keep quiet with your tears
I can't be the one
That you fear
I can't be the one
That you
Lean on
After the war is done
Will you pray for the ones whose
God you let down?
How do you keep moving on?
Moving on
Love letters to debtors and losing your wild youth
Eating your patience and drinking your blind truths
And fuck if I knew then
And fuck if I care
Fuck if I know now
And fuck if I dare
All I wanted was
For you to care
All I needed was
For you to be there
Fuck if it's real and
Fuck if I lied and
Fuck if you ever let
Your heart be mine
'Cause all I wanted was
Just you and I
But all your promises
Fade with the light in you eyes
So comedown
From such a great height
Comedown
My little light
(All that I ever was, all that I needed was, all that I ever was)
'Cause I can't be the one you
Lean on
After the atom bomb
Do you recognize what
You've become, my love
How do I
How do I
How do I move on
When you're already long gone?
