Henley's Ghost

(Album: The Callous Heart - 2015)

Bacardi and cola. 3 AM
Lights dance as I float above your bed
A walk from the guildhall to the sea
We both slowly forget us
We fade and wane as time evicts our memory

And if I don't see you now, well goodbye
When the world falls apart, I'll keep in mind
When you were mine
Love in decline

Each year it hits me harder and that's not on you
I collect the years like bottle caps from my youth
Tell John I miss him, tell my brother of my love
And how I'm growing colder,
How this world's weight is too much
How I'm just not enough

And if I don't see you now, well goodbye
When the world falls apart, I'll keep in mind
When you were mine
Love in decline

When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
