Sullied

I'd sully my hands to keep yours clean
I'd silence the lands to hear you sing
You carry the burden of worries unknown
Your shoulders could bear the weight of the world

And I liked the colours I saw in your breath
'til it turned to fire there was nothing left
This honeysuckle sweetens my blood
And I want to go home cause I've seen enough

You scold and you moan oh you trouble me so
I know that you're right and it always my fault
The years are unkind to my flesh and my bones
The years that we share will never grow old

And I liked the colours I saw in your breath
'til it turned to fire there was nothing left
This honeysuckle sweetens my blood
And I want to go home 'cause I've seen enough

You said you don't believe in my fairytales
Well a fable's all and all and all the same
So take back your Jonah, take back his whale
And we'll drink to the things that we can't change

We cried and we tried and I carried you home
Tight in my arms I am never alone
We cried and we tried and I carried you home
Tight in my arms I am never alone
