These Things Buffalo Nichols

[00:14.33] If I could be your place to hide
[00:17.33] I'd tell you the sweetest lies
[00:20.14] Knowing we won't get out alive
[00:22.81] I'd tell you that we'll be okay
[00:25.68] If I could be your mercy seat
[00:28.52] Where your secrets come to sleep
[00:30.73] And, not the reason that you weep, I wouldn't be alone
[00:36.34] With my heart in my throat
[00:38.88] And my stomach on the floor
[00:42.05] I'm beaten and I'm broken, but I'm coming back for more
[00:47.59] And I miss you like an eagle with a broken wing
[00:53.34] Misses the skies above
[00:55.59] Where he would watch over these things
[01:01.21]
[01:13.68] If I could be up there with you
[01:16.58] I would only tell the truth, and if it hurts like pulling a tooth
[01:21.59] Then it only hurts one time
[01:24.80] Well, I'd protect you from their lies
[01:27.93] But the ones I tell would fly
[01:30.67] Circling up above our heads, to feast on a love that's dead
[01:38.47] Your body close to mine, my heart in your hand
[01:44.27] If we're gonna die together
[01:46.42] Let's do it to the rhythm of the band
[01:49.74] And I'll dance to your beating heart
[01:52.53] And you'll dance on my grave
[01:55.37] Just promise that you'll break my neck
[01:57.91] When you know I can't be saved
[02:03.46] From all these things
[02:12.68]
[02:14.68] All these things
[02:17.43] Keep me wide awake at night
[02:20.40] All these things, used to keep my tunnel bright
[02:25.76] Now, all these things make me scared of getting old
[02:33.76] 'Cause you're no longer here and now all I have to hold
[02:41.51] Are all these things
[02:44.31]
