A Sail Lyrics by Lisa Hannigan

Passenger

2011

[Verse 1]
It's long gone, that carry on from December
It is no matter, if you remember
Mulled paper bagged wine
And too much bedside whiskey
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up in my sleeve
[Chorus]
Now it is your line, I know that I wrote it
If you tell a lie, well, no one will notice
And of you and I, well, I was the loudest
While you stayed quiet, we were surrounded
[Verse 2]
It's long gone that carry on from the winter
I asked you upstairs
And two we tangled in my hair
You were never one for chronic chattering
You heart beat pale
While I flew my colours
I flew my colours like a sail
[Chorus]
Now it is your line, I know that I wrote it
If you tell a lie, well, no one will notice
And of you and I, well, I was the loudest
While you stayed quiet, we were surrounded
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up
