Soak

[Verse 1] I remember when Fin Barre's Angel sang her song Dressed in heather together, we were dangerous as dawn Your skin like a leaf delicate and pure Veins of gold made you bold and that made me sure [Verse 2] I remember you cried so much you laughed Dry stone walls harbouring the salt in my eyes I am the waves washed beneath your feet I'd run to you like autumn runs to spring [Verse 3] I remember us soaking up sun like moss We were thunder and lightning, we were memory and loss I remember your shirt ripped on the graveyard fence And those broken blue shells in that crows broken nest Soak me now in your sweet memories As I watch your words dance like birds in the breeze Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth And I miss you more now than my words can repeat [Verse 4] I remember I told you I hadn't a clue That day by the sea and you all dressed in blue I remember I told you not to lie And I remember you promised me that you'd try I remember the day when the trees became undressed And I remember I thought for me you'd be death And I, I remember feeling so sickly in love With my thoughts on the table like cards in a pub I remember that day when you were just you And I remember the second I fell for it too I remember when I sunk into you like a bog To forget I cannot [Bridge] Soak me now in your sweet memories As I watch your words dance like the birds in the breeze Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth And I miss you more now than my words can repeat Soak me now in your sweet memories As I watch your words dance like the birds in the breeze Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth And I miss you more now than my words can repeat [Outro] Soak me now in your sweet memories As I watch your words dance like the birds in the breeze Hold my breath in your hand and my time in your teeth And I miss you more now than my words can repeat
