Tell a story of a life together
Every house an allegory
Like the smell of smoke it lingers on
Memory
Been a long and an uphill battle
Had to learn how to pray
Never miracles
It's only hope dowsing pain
My eyes play tricks on me
The line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
Tell a story of a life together
Vigorous embrace
Well, it's about you, Dove
A little light across your face
My eyes play tricks on me
The line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
Still the sound of everybody
Crackle, house in flame
And I avoid the shore 'til it calls out my name
My eyes play tricks on me
Line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
Every house an allegory
Like the smell of smoke it lingers on
Memory
Been a long and an uphill battle
Had to learn how to pray
Never miracles
It's only hope dowsing pain
My eyes play tricks on me
The line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
Tell a story of a life together
Vigorous embrace
Well, it's about you, Dove
A little light across your face
My eyes play tricks on me
The line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
Still the sound of everybody
Crackle, house in flame
And I avoid the shore 'til it calls out my name
My eyes play tricks on me
Line fades 'tween sky and sea
Miles away, the hours of heartbreak
In dark they're coming to get me
