La Dispute - Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again lyrics

rate me

Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean<br />

Out where the waves crash contempt on the land<br />

Someone was trembling for fear of the tempest<br />

Somebody silently reached for their hand<br />

Said, understand that if you're cold I'll keep you warm<br />

And besides, there's so much beauty in a storm<br />

So come down with me to the shore<br />

And what's more, I adore you<br />

So tell me, what is there to fear<br />

You think some seraph up above is trying to rob us of our love<br />

Because the sky's not clear<br />

My dear, you know there's not<br />

Now listen to the rain upon the rooftop<br />

But the wind picked up<br />

<br />

Out where the stones stand up like thrones beside the ocean<br />

Out where the waves make a grave of the sea<br />

The lovers struggled in the middle of the tempest<br />

And water angrily crawled up onto the beach<br />

Said, hold my hand and stay with me<br />

We'll be released<br />

But the tide clung like an anchor to her feet<br />

And though he tried to make the water line recede<br />

It pulled her out into the sea<br />

He could not break apart the waves to bring her safely back in<br />

He watched her hand break through the surface once<br />

Then disappear again<br />

Forever wait inside the sea for my, my dear<br />

I hear you<br />

You speak in every curling wave<br />

And sing in every violent breeze<br />

Someday not far away from here<br />

My dear, I swear I'll see you<br />

And we will hear the seraphs cry<br />

For they will still envy you and I<br />

How they envied you and I<br />

How they envied you and I<br />

How they envied you and I
