Illusion Lyrics - Water - Gregory Porter

I've been searchin all the corners of my room 

Sweeping dust and memories under the carpet that we purchased 

Somewhere on some cool retreat, somewhere in Africa somewhere 

I've been trying to catch my breath from the illusion that i lost it 

When you left me 

I've been checking for the weather and the time 

I'm like a bag that's dropped and drifting in the wind 

That blows from hurricanes that comes just after grey clouds fill my eyes 

I've been trying to find my footing on the slopes of the illusion that i lost it 

When you left me

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Like bare feet on hot concrete, we have come to some division 

Based on pain from bare decisions 

Just like clothespins snapped by wild winds 

Sometimes you can't hold on to love and never die 

Photos 

I've been planting all the flowers that you like 

With the hope them will take root and smell the blossom 

When the wind blows as we sit deep in the garden sipping tea 

As i watch you looking at me 

I've been trying to find reality 

A grip on the illusion that i lost you 

When you left me
