Dermot Kennedy - For Island Fires and Family(2019)

[00:00.75] How it must feel to be a bird
[00:12.16] Roamin' lonely over sea air
[00:22.61] How it must feel to be a bird
[00:33.58] London, Paris, underneath
[00:40.07] And I'll wait on my own
[00:45.19] (Ooh, hmm, ooh)
[01:03.51] And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
[01:15.31] And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
[01:24.42] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
[01:29.09] Damn permanent reverie
[01:34.16] And even though this life, this love is brief
[01:38.32] I've got some people who carry me
[01:44.13] Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
[01:48.55] Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me
[01:53.50] Nothin' is secret, everythin's sacred, how it ought to be
[01:58.11] Under the moonlight on a clear night
[02:00.84] On rooftops is where I want to be
[02:03.80] Sometimes I'm like a child, that's somethin' I can't release
[02:07.64] Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home
[02:10.32] And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet
[02:12.67] Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that
[02:17.71] In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at
[02:21.93] So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' less of me?
[02:26.72] That's what she asked me
[02:28.73] What was promised, what we both agreed
[02:31.21] But truthfully, if you ever go
[02:33.24] You'll drop me straight to Hell, the 7th circle
[02:35.99] And I was talkin' with you earlier
[02:38.80] We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
[02:42.99] I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
[02:53.58] I used to dream that you would talk to me
[03:02.25] And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
[03:12.64] And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
[03:22.49] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
[03:26.74] Damn permanent reverie
[03:31.71] And even though this life, this love is brief
[03:35.29] I've got some people who carry me
[03:41.25] You know that feelin' when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
[03:50.42] Get it a couple times a year
[03:52.52] But I've been gettin' it more often with her
[03:59.94] Now when I'm face to face with death, I'll grab his throat
[04:03.28] And ask him, "How does it hurt?"
[04:09.24] Up in those golden moments, growin' old too quickly
[04:13.28] Was he thinkin' of her?
[04:18.94] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
[04:23.35] Damn permanent reverie
[04:29.09] And even though this life, this love is brief
[04:33.39] I've got some people who carry me
[04:38.55]
