White Lies Lyrics by Shane Pendergast

Place to the Name

2020

[Verse 1]
Friendships forged in summer heat
Listen as the wild hearts beat
When reluctance
Young folks slip away
[Verse 2]
Barefoot fools with tousled hair
Over dunes where lies no care
Spirits down with more to spare
Shadows on display
[Chorus]
In the darkness, secrets fade
Sacred knots are taut and frayed
Climbing cliffs of red with knowing eyes
When the sea begins to sigh
She might take you by surprise
White lies rise likе smoke in summer skies
[Verse 3]
Nеrvous hearts by flames that dance
Only sparks will take a chance
Hoping she will catch your glance
Shyly turns away
[Verse 4]
Honesty will come to bear
When a glance returns a stare
On the painter's palette where
The reds and oranges play
[Chorus]
In the darkness, secrets fade
Sacred knots are taut and frayed
Climbing cliffs of red with knowing eyes
When the sea begins to sigh
She might take you by surprise
White lies rise like smoke in summer skies
[Verse 5]
Embers glow along the beach
Floating to the highest reach
Courage comes when evening breeze
Whips them to a blaze
[Verse 6]
Lovers look upon the sea
From the battered balcony
Watching waves gain bravery
Feeling much the same
[Chorus]
In the darkness, secrets fade
Sacred knots are taut and frayed
Climbing cliffs of red with knowing eyes
When the sea begins to sigh
She might take you by surprise
White lies rise like smoke in summer skies
[Outro]
Sticking to their alibis
Racing home before sunrise
White lies rise like smoke in summer skies
