When The Tide Is High And The Locks Are Cut, We Can Settle lyrics

The summers ending without you The night is breaking and the ground beneath my feet rips apart without you The city reaches and our skyline becomes a furnace The fields and the terraces are laid to ashes As the planes spill old newspapers and rip apart magazines And the people lay so low in the embers and hide from what could have been The ocean is tossing and turning and autumn fades out without a whisper and the rope that holds my leg rips apart without you As your memories break away from whatever I was using to hold them back Don't let them bury themeselves in the sadness and don't ever let them drag you down She's starting the fire in your home As I fall from this building I will set the bridges on fire And the people bury themselves in the dirt I will, I will make no sound I'm asking you to remember that I will never leave you and I'll never let them drag you down
