What I'm listening to: Angus & Julia Stone - Silver Coin [ALBUM]

.





Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone

All the love has gone away
Cos I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone

What I am listening to: All I Ever Wanted

*






I can only say these things to you when you're sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creep in
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me

And you tell me that you're scared your turning into your mother
And I feel myself turn into my father
As we lie to each other like they do and say so happy
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly

I turn over again and I feel my heart beating faster
I stare out the window and I think that I might scream

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you've ever hope to hear
But I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever

And the time we were alone together at the station
you were so quiet like a child and you told me you want to be taken
I never thought you as the kind of girl that would do that
And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find it exciting
Your eyes all wet and your face so warm and inviting

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you've hope to hear
Shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever

I'd tell you that I'm always going to love you the virgin bride you were that night
But I'd be lying
Love is defying

All I could think is that there must be a kind of rebellion
So on these fears like soldiers and slay them.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Through the dead while you breath sleeping in here
Waken and you ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever

Your face so twisted and your eyes are light
I want to tell i can save you when you cry at night
But I'd be trying
Love is defying
Won't you stop crying

Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love (Live on KEXP)






A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
