Book of Matches Lyrics by Ward Davis

Black Cats and Crows

0

Got a long night ahead that I'm dreading like hell
And there's a lot I gotta do so I got a little help
From the only two things that get me out of this bind
A book of matches and a bottle of wine
Got closets and boxes and drawers to go through
Of letters and sweaters and pictures of you
Got a fire pit dug and a made up mind
A book of matches and a bottle of wine
Gonna pop that cork, gonna light this fire
Feed the flames, get higher and higher
Watch as one last time
Let these memories shine
With a book of matches and a bottlе of wine
'Til that last drop of cheap Merlot
'Til thе final embers glow
I'll watch as one last time
Let these memories shine
Sitting here thinking, wishing I'd known
It'd be this easy letting you go
But I'm destroying all proof you ever were mine
With a book of matches and a bottle of wine
I'm killing your memory with my partners in crime
A book of matches and a bottle of wine
