lyrics

dust of a new daylight moves
ashes break like mountains do
i’m nothing in the shadow of your love
we talked about a mess of gold
new ideas of growing old
and beauty once was not the stars above

tie a rope around my feet
i don’t believe in meant to be
i only ever meant to make you smile
leave me lying in the lake
i pray the lord my soul to take
i don’t believe in very much at all

the last night was a cold collapse
the sky sung like a falling axe
and at the end i never said a word
and fire roared and smoke did speak
“there’s nothing here for you to keep”
and we drove off fast as though to say we could

tie a rope around my feet
i don’t believe in meant to be
i only ever meant to stay a while
leave me on this burning peak
i pray the lord my soul to keep
i don’t believe in very much at all

in the clearing
i heard you say it
“this light is something i don’t know”
what a strange thing
i tried to say it
“this album’s good but the last one was better”
i believe in you
at least i try to
it’s easy if i never look down

tie a rope around my feet
i’m afraid but i have to be
i only mean to wait for a little while
i don’t need the sky to love
i don’t believe in very much
beauty to me is not in the stars above
