Dermot Kennedy - For Island Fires and Family

[00:00.75] How it must feel to be a bird [00:12.16] Roamin' lonely over sea air [00:22.61] How it must feel to be a bird [00:33.58] London, Paris, underneath [00:40.07] And I'll wait on my own [00:45.19] (Ooh, hmm, ooh) [01:03.51] And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry [01:15.31] And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me [01:24.42] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me [01:29.09] Damn permanent reverie [01:34.16] And even though this life, this love is brief [01:38.32] I've got some people who carry me [01:44.13] Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly? [01:48.55] Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me [01:53.50] Nothin' is secret, everythin's sacred, how it ought to be [01:58.11] Under the moonlight on a clear night [02:00.84] On rooftops is where I want to be [02:03.80] Sometimes I'm like a child, that's somethin' I can't release [02:07.64] Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home [02:10.32] And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet [02:12.67] Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that [02:17.71] In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at [02:21.93] So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' less of me? [02:26.72] That's what she asked me [02:28.73] What was promised, what we both agreed [02:31.21] But truthfully, if you ever go [02:33.24] You'll drop me straight to Hell, the 7th circle [02:35.99] And I was talkin' with you earlier [02:38.80] We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful [02:42.99] I, I used to dream that you would talk to me [02:53.58] I used to dream that you would talk to me [03:02.25] And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry [03:12.64] And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me [03:22.49] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me [03:26.74] Damn permanent reverie [03:31.71] And even though this life, this love is brief [03:35.29] I've got some people who carry me [03:41.25] You know that feelin' when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt? [03:50.42] Get it a couple times a year [03:52.52] But I've been gettin' it more often with her [03:59.94] Now when I'm face to face with death, I'll grab his throat [04:03.28] And ask him, "How does it hurt?" [04:09.24] Up in those golden moments, growin' old too quickly [04:13.28] Was he thinkin' of her? [04:18.94] But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me [04:23.35] Damn permanent reverie [04:29.09] And even though this life, this love is brief [04:33.39] I've got some people who carry me [04:38.55]
