Guillemots - Vermillion lyrics

rate me

There's a man with a face like sorrow

Now he's gone for good

How could anyone hold you without feeling good?

There's a shop where the thoughts that I borrow

Swim around my head like snow

How could anyone ignore you?

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

We're singing in a concrete star

Oh we're all just castles in the cards

There's a hope in my blood when I see you

I hear crashing drums

How could any other language hope to lead me on?

Little sparks in the puddles shoot like darts

at all the things we might be

you and me

and time itself is frozen

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

We're killing all the saints tonight

Oh play on, you shadows of the light

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

If all I was was all I felt

Then the sun itself would start to melt

Into waterfalls pouring down like song

Oh play on

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

Killing all the saints tonight

Oh we're all just dancers in the night
