Sherwood - Ground Beneath lyrics

rate me

I saw the light dance on your face<br />

Paint the shadows of your shape<br />

Back when the season made the days so long<br />

<br />

And if I knew my time would come<br />

With the lines rehearsed but never sung<br />

I'd leave the chorus on your tongue<br />

I swear<br />

<br />

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet<br />

Every second takes a thousand days away from me<br />

And if I close my eyes<br />

I hear the gates swing wide<br />

And by the morning light<br />

I will have seen both sides<br />

<br />

I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave<br />

Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek<br />

As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea<br />

I feel their hearts beating next to me<br />

I hear the chatter of my teeth<br />

<br />

And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet<br />

The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat<br />

Do you see the waves running away from me?<br />

You taste the cold here in the air I breathe<br />

Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see<br />

<br />

And I scream<br />

Oh my god<br />

Oh my god<br />

Oh my god<br />

Oh my god<br />

Oh my god<br />

Oh my god<br />

<br />

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet<br />

Every second takes a thousand days away from me<br />

If I close my eyes<br />

I hear the gates swing wide<br />

And by the morning light<br />

I will have seen both sides<br />

So why'd you let me go?<br />

I can no longer see<br />

And I can't breathe
