I'm sorry I didn't stay
But I can hear you from far away
And the line that I drew that day
Will never rub out
When your voice comes lifting over the hillside
I sense it's breaking
I back down

I'm sorry I turned away
But I will square myself up again
And recall all the hidden shades
That lit me from inside out
And find your imprint on the back of my eyelid
Where you burned it
In a sweet night's silence
When we were both so young

Oh and bathe me in the morning Sun
Cover me in gold and rust
Oh and show me what you saw in my love
I remember I was once young

I'm sorry I couldn't change
But she's grabbing my neck, she won't go away
And her palms are a quiet brace, and her skin is like felt
For I know you feel it, in the nights when we're breathing
Interweaving
That my eyes are shaking with a thousand points of light

Oh, and bathe me in the morning Sun
Cover me in gold and rust
Oh, and show me what you saw in my love, I remember I was once young

And I will love you from afar
Though it burdens everything we are
And I will paint you with my scars, but your skin was so soft the first time we touched

When sky turns distant over my forehead
Your hand will lift me back out
