A Church in Ruins Lyrics by Lera Lynn

True Detective (Music from the HBO Series)

2015

[Verse 1]
You were alone and you were alive
Among the walking dead
He was a liar but not a tone
Still he went to your head
[Bridge]
He said, I love you baby like a miner loves gold
And this will never grow old
[Verse 2]
Lost in the ether, down in the blight
And not a word was said
But he was neither, vicious or kind
As he laid there and bled
[Verse 3]
His hands were on you and it felt just the same
As when he didn't know your name
And he said, I love you baby like a miner loves gold
And this will never grow old
[Verse 4]
Darkness for cover
Church in ruin
There's nothing left to feel
Goodbye lover, this is your doing
A heart against the wheel
