Dirt And Bones Lyrics - David Hermansson

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
