Amidst the Heather Lyrics by Emily Donohue

Melancholia

0

In the trees
The birds who sing
They're echoing
My long-lost lover’s torment
And, please, stop loving me
So deeply
I can't bear it
Home
You'd left behind
When tumescent eyes
Began coolly, blindly seeing
That the way
We lingered still
Would never build
With foundations cracked and heaving
I miss the way
You said my name
As your hand explored my ribs
And with teeth
Still chattering
From the cold, inclement weather
Whispered sweet
And reverently
That you’d love those bones forever
Now the ground will house those bones
You loved the most
That lay just beneath the surface
Of the skin
Still caving in
From the toll of lives worth living
And the wait at the pearly gates
Was worth it for the beauty
Of the trees
Where birds will coo
For me and you
Whoa
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Say goodbye
To you and I
My sweet Versailles
We'll rest our heads amidst the heather
