7 Hours Late Lyrics by Swallow the Sun

Songs from the North I, II & III

2015

[Verse 1]
Forgive me father, I was 7 hours late
And now you're gone
But I made it next to you, as I promised
Dressed you for your last journey
I'm dead to you now
Still holding the words that were left unsaid
[Verse 2]
Couldn't burden you with the sorrows that crushed my chest
Couldn't find the right time to share those words
Why the days passed away
I'm dead to you now
And will be until my own heart
Sees the fallen veil of night
Until the curtains open for me
To walk the same moonlit silver trail
I always will be 7 hours late
[Bridge]
"Carrying the pain of knowing, that you never knew
Why we both went through the days apart
But with the same shadows in our hearts
I can never tell you why I wasn't there
Until they bury me in the same soil
Until we meet again, I will be 7 hours late"
[Verse 3]
These rooms of shadows
Echoes on these walls
This empire of loneliness
Still feeling the presence
Your soul still lingering here for a while
And the dark that pours
In through the night-side window
And the light that fades into the woods
[Verse 4]
Like fireflies dancing between the rusted trees
The light that escaped from my side
Glowing in the woods
Waving its last goodbye until its gone
And then it's dark
