Ruins Lyrics by Mt. Joy

Orange Blood

2022

[Verse 1]
Don't cry, the river will be alright
We'll just melt all the plastic to the sea
And maybe California is the only place

[Refrain]
Where this old engine, it just glides through the ruins
Fare you well, all that gives us hell
Out the mouth of the Mississippi

[Verse 2]
Halfway home, I caught you dreamin'
In the passenger seat, your feet out the window
Like, maybe your love, it gets torn from the bone
In the eyes of the Lord

[Refrain]
And this old engine, it just glidеs through the ruins
And fare you well, all that givеs us hell
Out the mouth of the Mississippi

[Bridge]
In love, we got to try
A little love, we, you just got to try

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
In love, we got to try, Lord
A little love, we, we just got to try
In love, we got to try
Yes, in love, we, we just got to try, hm-mmm, mmm
