Emily Wolfe - Ivory Coast lyrics

rate me

IVORY COAST

W: Emily Wolfe / M: Emily Wolfe (2012)

My shadow pulled me up the stairs

To a room that’s filled with tired air

And I watched you sleep ‘cause no one else cared

All alone I sit and wait

for the anesthetic in my veins

to take me up and take me out

loud

To that Ivory coast

Let it go

On that Ivory coast

Let me go

Nurses dressed you up in white

they gave you paler skin and blood shot eyes

And I’ve forgotten that we never last long

Remember when you held my hand

Over banisters we couldn’t mend

The screen goes black for me

They caught us jumping out the window
