Lyrics

[00:17.46] Dear, you left too soon,
[00:19.87] went to the next room.
[00:21.58] If you haunt me,
[00:24.04] I'll sing for you.
[00:25.92] How the hinges move;
[00:27.53] connecting me and you
[00:29.43] is a door way
[00:31.81] that you're knocking through.
[00:42.53] We walk down a dock
[00:44.43] and the water is cold,
[00:46.55] You want me to
[00:49.14] escort you.
[00:50.80] How I'd love to go
[00:52.36] swim with you in death,
[00:54.74] but my heavy heart
[00:56.70] won't let me tread.
[00:59.17] I must stay
[01:01.03] on the shore.
[01:03.02] I am young,
[01:04.74] my blood is warm.
[01:07.10] I can take you this far
[01:11.18] Now, my love, we must part.
[02:07.66] When blood and youth were warmer
[02:09.87] we breathed Summer like the sweet air
[02:12.56] we found each other like a mirror.
[02:16.70] We were so optimistic,
[02:19.13] wasn't it so easy to be?
[02:21.90] We we're young and na�ve.
[02:44.10] Can you pull down the dawn?
[02:46.37] It's been so dark since you've been gone
[02:49.20] and we've been begging for the morning to come.
[02:53.24] We were so optimistic,
[02:55.44] wasn't it so easy to be?
[02:58.45] We were young and na�ve.
[03:06.99] We'll be fine in the morning.
[03:11.51] We'll be fine in the morning.
[03:16.14] It's getting late so we must sleep.
[03:20.70] We'll see you in the morning,
[03:24.79] Eileen.
