Annie Hamilton - Song For Lily Lyrics

      

song for lily
by Annie Hamilton

Verse 1
I call you
I say Lil
I swear my heart's been through the wringer
I’ll tell you everything
When I get home from dinner
We go down to the ocean
Smell the rain on the pavement
Watch the girls all lying on the ground
The clouds all rearranging

Chorus
And I'm listening to your new song
You're singing with your sister
Leave my body on the sofa
While my mind floats out the window
Up past satellites and long-haul flights
To where they store the extra time
The nights I can’t forgеt
And the nights I can't remembеr

Verse 2
I call you from the bath
I watch the stars from the shallows
It's daytime where you are
My heart is hanging from the gallows
You have a way of making everything ok
And I know I'll be blind by silver linings
By the time you have to go

Chorus
And I listen to your new song
You're singing with your sister
Leave my body on the sofa
While my heart floats down the river
Past the flashing lights and rising tides
To where they store the extra time
The nights I can't forget
And the nights I can't remember

Bridge
And I'm curled up in a towel
On the corner of your couch
Tell you stories from the shower
That I’ve never said out loud
And you point your finger to the clouds
Like laser beams, you shout
And nothing can go wrong
While I’ll listening to your song

Chorus
So I listen to your new song
You're singing with your sister
Leave my body on the sofa
While my mind floats out the window
Up past satellites and long-haul flights
To where they store the extra time
The nights I can’t forget
And the nights I can't remember

Outro
Lily lying on the lawn
With a paper bag of flowers
A butterfly drawn on
We stay like this for hours
Lily crying in her driveway
A red brick sunset dreamscape
I'm coming round the corner
I've got so much to tell you
