ryan o'reilly - boats against the current كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
run your hand along my arm
inside my jacket sleeve
let your tears fall in your smile
i can hardly breathe
with my hands upon your hips
you took our flag down to half mast
when we turned to face each other
we were already in the past

[verse 2]
the emptiness fills me
and it’s tidal like the thames
if the numbness ever leaves me
i won’t want this pain to end
is it possible to change this
what would you like to ask
is there a river we can follow
ceasеlessly towards the past

[verse 3]
i was blind to all those candlеs
heard the music felt your dress
i shut my eyes your lips you gave to me
for one last sweet caress
don’t you give our love a eulogy
i can’t watch you close the door
it was winter time the first time
but time’s not been stopped before
[verse 4]
you said you dreamed that i was holding you
i kissed your eyes your lips your hair
you cried that was my goodbye to you
i only wish babe i’d been there
remember when i ran away to dublin
you wrote and told me to stay strong
you’ve only been gone a few hours
but they’re tortuously long

[verse 5]
the chalice holds the poison
fermented by our fear
put our love into a four foot hole
a foot for every year
yesterday i had you
but it would be the last
the doors are locked and they’ve been bolted
and it’s trapped us in the past

[verse 6]
i can picture you so perfectly
your hat down to your shoes
you said i’ve never been an adult
and not belonged to you
remember magheramore that time
i held you safe in both my hands
but the tide was unrelenting
breaks the rocks down into sand
[verse 7]
we did not wait to hear the bell this time
we knew it had just been rung
our cobbled streets they were alive
with all the carols being sung
can our love end so suddenly
i’m not sure if it’s true
every time i dry my heavy eyes
i still think i’ll see you

[verse 8]
i drove for hours and for miles
after you got out the car
i couldn’t listen to those love sick songs
they don’t know who we are
i reached across to feel you
but nothing now feels right
and the stars are dancing heel to toe
across the endless night

[verse 9]
i will draw the curtain
you can take a sweeping bow
because we remembered all our lines babe
no_one had to show us how
be careful that you do not slip
upon this newly painted stage
i expected your directions
but not time’s exquisite rage
[verse 10]
whoever you discover
who next walks you to your door
or dares put his hands where my hands used be
to dance across your bedroom floor
i hope he will understand
you’re worth much more than he could know
will you think of us from time to time
let our time together show

[verse 11]
the pearls they would destroy us
because that’s not a diamond ring
maybe i was scared to show you
but you did mean everything
i only understand you
and only you know all of me
is this how adam felt the day
that eden set him free?
