Shovels & Ropes - This Means War lyrics

rate me

Well I had an awful dream

Lead your bones by a shallow stream

And I carved your name in a willow tree

And I beat the ground

With water clear and sun abright

I let the tears alone to dry

I raise my arms up to the sky

And challenge god

He had no pros

He had no right

To take my dove, my little light

Half of my soul, half of my sight

My beating heart, my precious wife

Have you no answers

I’ll follow you no more

I’m on my own

This means war

When I awoke

When I came to

My whole perspective was brand new

I made a vow, and I keep it true

Hold very close what’s given you

Keep very close what’s given to you
