Ivy and Stone Lyrics

Cover myself in ivy and stone

I walked out of the city alone

An ache in my heart I was burnt to the bone

Miles away from the safety of home

The water was cold creeping up to my chest

This river runs close to the shadow of death

Blood rained from the sky like the tears from my head

And I wept and I cursed all the workings of men

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon

I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised

I carry my cross and I carry it true

Scattered around all the words wrote for you

Silent I saw her in clear morning light

Flowers in her hair and a dress of pure white

Angels they stand keeping watch by her side

They whisper her name in the dead of the night

Sunlight before the eyes

And so I rise from ash and dust

It's alright I'll make you mine

It's been a while since I've felt so alive

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon

I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised

I carry my cross and I carry it true

Scattered around all the words wrote for you

You saved my soul

Don't let me go

'Cause I don't want to drown

I sank so low

How can you know

What it's like to be found

You saved my soul

Don't let me go

'Cause I don't want to drown

I sank so low

How can you know

What it's like to be found

Then I sang to the sun and I sang to the moon

I sang 'till my soul was no longer bruised

I carry my cross and I carry it true

Scattered around all the words wrote for you
