French 75

(album: Cane Hill - 2015)

I feel the love up in the air
It's like a long hard night no one ever cares
I see the love up in the sky
It's like a cold rain cloud racing through the night

It slips away
It slips away
On, and on, and on

When we're together I feel it too
Like we could die, watch the flowers bloom
Have a seat, just you and me
Now we know we'll be each others casualty

Drink with me
Drink with me today, oh
You can sleep with me
Sleep inside my grave, oh

Two minutes in she's seeing grey
With her back on the ground reaching out for me
Side by side, we'll die with a smile

Don't have the heart to let her know
When I poured the drinks I left mine alone
She got the skull, I got the stone

Drink with me, drink with me today, oh
You can sleep with me, sleep inside my grave, oh

"Well, she's in a better place
I'm so sorry for your loss
There's a reason for everything
I'm just a phone call away, and I'm usually up early if you need anything
Be strong. I wish I had the right words
It's not like you're there."

Drink with me, drink with me today
You lied to me, you led me astray
You can sleep with me, sleep inside my grave
You blinded me, now I'm floating away

Drink with me, drink with me today
You lied to me, you led me astray
You can sleep with me, sleep inside my grave
You blinded me, now I'm floating away

"I'm sorry, and I love you, but I just had to have you for myself
And I know I shouldn't have done it with you, and I'm so sorry that I did
But it's not my fault that I got bored of you
And I hope that when I see you, you can still look at me the same way you did the first night we met
And I know I can't change what happened
I can't go back. I can never see you again, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I'm so sorry."
