Florence Lyrics - Singles - Adam Barnes

We're buried beneath with mountains to climb 

We're drowning away with water and wine 

Were you watching the wolves, our very first kiss 

Wipe the tears from your face, the taste from your lips 

We'll sit in communion, our hands in our laps 

Writing prayers for a God who will never pray back 

We won't last for forever, make best with your time 

We're the last of our fathers, the first of our kind 

So no one believes me, it wasn't so easy to say 

I offered the world to a heartbroken girl 

and she left me and stole it away 

This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless 

but no one believes what I say 

Oh I'll follow the birds, 

'cause they're always there to chase

I'll sit here remembering what I have got left 

The scars; the words that escape from my chest 

Let the birds fly for winter to the heat of the south 

I will die by the summer, I will die by myself 

In the freshest of airs, the calmest of storms 

With the blue lights approaching I'll lay in your arms 

I will die like religion, I'm weak with my facts 

But the people will wait, oh the birds will come back

So Father believe me, it wasn't so easy to say 

I offered the world to a heartbroken girl 

and she left me and stole it away 

This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless 

but no one believes what I say 

Oh I'll follow the birds, 

'cause they're always there to chase
