From The County Gates

from Weak In The Wild by Frances Smith

lyrics

There was the sky it was there
through the turning
and I was the one who was wrong
when I cried for the passing
of the summer's warm days
you were always awake and aware
and alive and surviving

Chorus

And I reached for your hand
said nothing's undone and the sun
hid the stars and the slow ghosts
who move from the hills to the sea
and we rode with them like we were free
from the county gates
to the harbour lights hotel
to the harbour lights hotel

Where did you go when the ending
had come there to meet us
all the people were walking
and holding, and talking, and leaving
everything changed with the winter
because the dark always stays
around longer

There was the sun it was there
it was burning
through all of the clouds in the sky
they were covering
and there's rain that's been falling forever
wherever the trees grow
on the hillside where we stayed for a while

And we were changed by the time
by the time, by the time
we were turning

repeat chorus
