Closing early morning just before sunrise A night spent with the guilt Until morning light We share a cigarette, burning the shame Our lungs heavy in bliss Our arms are sore from the weight I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned The selfish and pride for the touch of her hand Our lips speak in secrets Our tongues lie in verse Our hearts slower the guilt Our love, our only recourse And we share a cigarette, burning the shame Our lungs heavy in bliss Our arms are sore from the weight I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned The selfish and pride for the touch of her hand And I'll hold you close with the ebb and flow While the tides may turn, we won't And I'll hold you tight like an anchor line Through the gruelling seas at night And I'll hold you close with the ebb and flow While the tides may turn, we won't And I hold you tight like an anchor line Through the gruelling seas at night We share a cigarette, burning the shame Our lungs heavy in bliss Our arms are sore from the weight I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned Selfish and pride for the touch of her hand
