Asbury - Grayscale

Weren’t there when I needed you most

Feels like a lifetime I couldn’t let go

Said, «Col, let’s have one day alone

Wherever you wanna go

That’s where we’ll go»

One day to share love and revoke

To settle silence, seek penance, say woes

Ran to the waves as they broke

Biting cold thrashed across our ankle bones

Irish dreams by the sea

Where she waltzes from me

Will you smile at my face

When you leave?

And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

You dared me and I dared you so

Ran ‘til we gave, ‘til our pace was imposed

Beach town, my white shirt pulled low

See to my skin, cotton hanging and soaked

Sun beamed on your face and hopes

Maybe one last time I’ll see you as gold

Irish dreams by the sea

Where she waltzes from me

Will you smile at my face

When you leave?

And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

But now it’s too late for this all

You’re on your way out, I wish I had known

Held hands in your hospital cloak

Said, «What have we done now?»

Eyes burning holes

Wrinkled skin held your brittle bones

Mouth open, eyes closed in unison slow

I said «sorry» as I held you close

The Asbury lighthouse is where I’ll let go

Is where I’ll let go

Is where I’ll let go

Is where I’ll let go

I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

I’ll fall back into you, like I always do

I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
