A City of Forgotten Words Lyrics by The Ataris

2015

[Verse 1]
The coldest evening when the sun hangs low on the horizon
When the heater shakes and my breath is freezing
Your heart radiates with light to keep me warm
I was so reckless
Like a child searching hard to find contentment
And on that morning when I think I finally gave up
You were there right next to me to dry my eyes
[Chorus]
Thank you, darling
For sparing this poor heart 'cause it was bleeding
Thank you, darling
For showing me that I could live again
[Verse 2]
I kept on moving until the patchwork of this town came into focus
I guess we find what we deserve when we're not looking
Girl, you fell into these vacant arms of mine
[Chorus]
Thank you, darling
For sparing this poor heart 'cause it was bleeding
Thank you, darling
For showing me that I could live again
[Chorus]
Thank you, darling
For sparing this poor heart 'cause it was bleeding
Thank you, darling
For showing me that I could live again
[Outro]
Tonight my headlights make the snowfall seem like tiny stars around us
And if we die here and no one ever finds us
I couldn't think of a better way to go
I couldn't think of a better way to go
