And We Remain

(álbum: Songs With Strangers - 2020)

That murmuration of starlings
Is stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Oh, the fear I can hear it beating your chest
That beating your chest

There won't be no easy escaping
Just take my hand
It won't just blow away
Like my Cavendish can

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may
It'll turn to ash if it's meant to and we'll be okay
Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane
Long as the altar holds what it's meant to
And, darling, and we remain
We remain

Oh, now look to the mountain
It's snowing again, it's snowing again
That chest that was heavy and heaving is breathing again
I'm breathing again
There won't be a thing that we needed
We needed anyway, didn't need it anyway
Ease is only a burden removed by pain

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may
It'll turn to ash if it's mean to and we'll be okay
Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane
Long as the altar holds what it's meant to
Darling, and we remain
Yeah, oh we remain

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may
It'll turn to ash if it's mean to and we'll be okay
Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane
Long as the altar holds what it's meant to
Darling, and we remain
And we remain

Ours is a luxury gone sour (ooh...)
Ours is a love gone so sweet
