Lyrics
Old Grey
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
we are about to set our sails for the new lands
where we only know what we bring
where we can breathe without harm
we escaped the smoke and no we will not forgive you
don't expect to get our phone calls, we heard you enough already
please don't think we'll forget you, but don't think that we'll miss you
in time you will just be a ghost, one that we don't even know
in time, you will just be nothing
we will look back at the fire and remember what it was,
realizing why we're leaving and rebuilding providence
I love you, I loved you never, remember the times we can't have back, but fuck the past
soon we'll be alright, we've made plans to hold up our heads high
