Lyrics
Your silhouette is on the door
The subtle steps the creaking floor
You came to hold me in the dark
To soothe the searing pain that sealed this coat of arms
You came across my weathered home
The walls were blank but still were warm
Careful with your light now brother, I have lost them all
See that restless tide now coming down on you alone
Careful with your light now honey, that I fear the most
I carried it to bed and now it's carrying you home
Careful with your light now brother, I have lost them all
See that restless tide now coming down on you alone
Careful with your light now honey, that I fear the most
I carried it to bed and now it's carrying you home
With these peaceful ghosts
