untitled - jacob slater lyrics

Loading...

paints her face tonight with chalk and charcoal lines of laughter
broken blue on powder grey
looking like some river i remembered
from an old december morning
born beneath the break of day

but if you’re living in a picture frame
while the hands of time behind you
sculpt the life out for the living
you must turn around or walk away

hold me mother
i’ve never died before
hold me mother
i’ve never died
i’ve never died before today

show me all the secrets that i learned between the talking trees of childhood
when i was freer than the rain
did they steal them in a sideways glance?
was it a kiss, a curse, a trance, was it a chance worth taking?
or did i give them all away

hold me mother
i’ve never died before
hold me mother
i’ve never died
i’ve never died before today
i’ve never died

and you can’t speak the beauty of a silence in a song
and you might hold on forever
but for fear of holding on
and you move in every movement
you’re the turning of the wheel
why feel so afraid?
dont be afraid to feel
feel, feel, feel

the city square
and all the lights went out i saw you standing there
in the red dress your mother bought from the city market
down down down
down beside the water
and i lay there in your arms for the very last time
how was i to know that it would be the final flight
the final flight
