The Klopeks - Take Her To The Sea lyrics

Silent the sermon sits still, soaks up a story A tale about love and truth in excess And when the faces drop expressionless and empty eyes It's an early Monday morning in a Sunday dress You're never going to get to heal this You're stuck between the white and black You've been drinking like a detective It's never going to bring her back Release the fellow from his feeling But a lie to where he went to be: Forget a life with no conviction Gonna take her to the sea Hold on, just hold on Come Sunday morning I'll be dead and gone How do you sleep? I bet restlessly A swollen river's gonna take her to the sea A decade of paths, leading to corners Constructed and woven from footprints, hairclips and teeth Now, under the wing it's dawn on the mountains of North Spain Set on a distant horizon, South by South East A decade of a life for a stranger Saves a last shot for sun-baked streets d**h walks with a stick to a parish The echoes of shuffling feet The bullet engraved and time tarnished Rests now in a vestry of shade A gla** half empty, a steak untouched As the storm breaks above the parade Hold on, just hold on Come Sunday morning I'll be dead and gone How do you sleep? I bet restlessly A swollen river's gonna take her to the sea Hold on, just hold on Come Sunday morning I'll be dead and gone How do you sleep? I bet restlessly And a swollen river's gonna take her to the sea
