Dermot Kennedy Songs by First Lyrics

So we'll call it all believing in the art / there's evidence and remnants of a spark / strong belief there'll be a better part / when the hoping ends

When love was found / I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to / then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue

See the killer was a coward / dark deeds in dark towers / so he fled when they came / blowing brass, carrying chains

A thief in the night came / took everything you gave for her

That should have never been your road / we should have stayed there on the corner / you know I'm always at your shoulder / take your heart out of your holster

Every wrong I did turned me to a better kid, so alright / every time we kissed knew I wanted more of it so don't hide

When everything was broken / the Devil hit his second stride / but you remember what I told you / someday I'll need your spine to hide behind

Because of her, because of her / her eternal summer smile is breaking my defenses and I know / damn well won't find no peaceful sleeping with no her up in my head

For all the moments never known / 'cause he stepped off of the tallest sail / for all the love he'd left below / in the waves

Woke up this morning, light poured in, you're with me / I thought I'd be better off alone / now, my soul has been torn and reborn, started breathing

So, what's the past for? I'll need it if love don't last long / so you can run around infinite in my head

We used to be giants, when did we stop?

Sitting out in warm winds, flecks of sun painted on the sea/ you smiled and looked down when I told you "It ain't bad to be me"/ give me moonlight, and a smile from you that I can barely believe

Don't tell me this is all for nothin', I can only tell you one thing / on the nights you feel outnumbered / baby, I'll be out there somewhere

In the fading light, hearts collide / shadows dance in the distance / something just ain't right, I'm cold inside, help me find what I'm missing

I wanna be king in your story, I wanna know who you are, I want your heart to beat for me / oh I

You call arrows to fall short, because the snow is at our feet / when embraces subside, and the lilies have died it comes down to her tears on a sheet

Better days are coming if no one told you / I hate to hear you crying over the phone, dear

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out / my eyes are full of blood, they're closing up / my clothes are tight enough, they cut them off / the skies aren't bright enough to see the gods

How it must feel to be a bird, roaming lonely over sea air

For the wolves we fought when a child was brave / days on a Southern strand where we'd all pretend to be touring / and I'd wait all night for the smile you'd saved

Keeping her bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you / Isn't she all of us pining for that last kiss, a permanent truth, a means to get through

They question the king upon leaving, said open your eyes when you see / with her, all the singing came easy / all go, cut the sun in the evening

So step inside 'cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile / it's not enough for it to show up every once in a while

Maybe it's all down to the thought of her / maybe it's all down to the loss we learned / knew for a long time, for all it's worth / I wanted to run to you

There's lessons in love sometimes / the heart is but a winding road / so this story goes

Ever since I was a young boy, running through grass I was a dreamer writing stories down the back of the class / now I sit at this piano with my heart in my hands, take my love and all my loss and get the darkness to dance

If we could take a photo, eternalise this moment / for the days when I don't believe
