As Still As I Watch Your Grave (Roddy Woomble)

I know all the old patterns Because I live by the sea And what I translate in water It won't come back to haunt me So cut another pattern To make a suitable friend of me And in your illumination is your apology What we keep of last night while we sleep It's what we keep of last night While we sleep And I watch your grave Be written all over your face On the longest day When midnight tries to take my place As still as I watch your face Be written all over your grave Should have passed like hours Passed like years but felt like days And you live in the shadows Of the evenings you mislead But they're too real to be forgotten If you choose the right company And I run each finger through the dust And only through your hair in sleep But it's like the first breath in the morning And it brings the past back to me What we keep of last night when we sleep It depends what we keep of last night While we sleep And I watch your grave Be written all over your face On the longest day I watched people fight to take my place As still as I watch your face Be written all over your grave Should have passed like years Passed like hours lost in days And I watch your grave Be written all over your face On the longest day When midnight tries to take my place As still as I watch your face Be written all over your grave What should have passed like hours Passed like years passed like days
