Asbury

Weren’t there when I needed you most
Feels like a lifetime I couldn’t let go
Said, «Col, let’s have one day alone
Wherever you wanna go
That’s where we’ll go»
One day to share love and revoke
To settle silence, seek penance, say woes
Ran to the waves as they broke
Biting cold thrashed across our ankle bones
Irish dreams by the sea
Where she waltzes from me
Will you smile at my face
When you leave?
And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
You dared me and I dared you so
Ran ‘til we gave, ‘til our pace was imposed
Beach town, my white shirt pulled low
See to my skin, cotton hanging and soaked
Sun beamed on your face and hopes
Maybe one last time I’ll see you as gold
Irish dreams by the sea
Where she waltzes from me
Will you smile at my face
When you leave?
And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
And I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
But now it’s too late for this all
You’re on your way out, I wish I had known
Held hands in your hospital cloak
Said, «What have we done now?»
Eyes burning holes
Wrinkled skin held your brittle bones
Mouth open, eyes closed in unison slow
I said «sorry» as I held you close
The Asbury lighthouse is where I’ll let go
Is where I’ll let go
Is where I’ll let go
Is where I’ll let go
I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
I’ll fall back into you, like I always do
