David Hermansson Dirt And Bones Lyrics

I saw a ghost when I was seventeen

And she left a scar down in my throat

We were so in love when you were eighteen

And I would've tattooed your name on my face

Your body was my canvas through our sleepless nights

And I painted roses on your chest

You blew your white smoke right into my lungs

So I would never forget your name

And dear I would give you everything

Just to feel your heart beat on my chest oh one last time

And dear, let the silence take you home

And stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones

I remember your face when I said I'd move away

And I stayed up to watch you sleep

With blackened dreadlocks on your pillowcase

And blood red lips as morning grew

We were gonna get married and have kids some day I wish I still were so naive

We drove out in the rain to find all of that we'd been looking for

But all we found was someone else

And dear I would never be scared again

If you would hold my hand and rest your lips on my head

Dear, it's been years and I guess we've grown

But stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones

I ran my fingers down your back

As the sunlight covered the blinds

We rolled around in the roses

And you whispered you'd never die

And dear I think I've called too many times

But it's so damn hard to be left here with my blood full of wine

Dear, I have never been so alone

Please stay with me until you and I are just dirt and bones
