Storms

(albüm: Deadeye - 2016)

I said I am no evil man then I paused
As if convinced of what that meant
Well I brace myself and face my doubts
Not surprised but unprepared
For such an arduous descent
And if I ever knew I loved you it was then

I said don't you hide your eyes from me
I will wreck your guesswork worries one by one
When they're buried in some deep dark sea
You'll be mine and so my mind had spun and spun
But it was over by the time it had begun

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

You said I will not chase these storms
While our tongues gave all our wickedness away
And I said ours will be no hollow home
No, made of stone these walls alone won't keep you safe
And with each downpour we discover what it takes

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Well I said how can I carry on?
All these waves don't make a sailor out of me
You'll set out with the morning sun
I'm alone and slow to gather up my leaves
Up in arms, it's just the god of thinning dreams

Carolina, Carolina
Dare I say these words for you
I don't speak unless I mean to

Someone told me all your sails were raised
So I stood upon the mooring of the bay
Both eyes closed in hopes
Your colors haven't changed
Both eyes closed in hopes
Your colors haven't changed
