Lovers Drown Lyrics

I think about it all the time

The way your hand felt wrapped in mine

I know that I'll be coming back to you

And on that cold October night

I feel you in the pale moonlight

Where any kind of story could be true

But you're the one that sheltered me

Through all the wind and storm

And even though the earth is cold

My heart was always warm

Hey love, I guess you should have let me go

Hey love, we had a dream

Hey love, I guess you never really know

Hey love, we lost a dream

You have found me in the deep

Love you may disturb my sleep

Even so I greet you with a grin

I can feel the winter rain

And I would sing the same refrain

That I have held one full year and a day

I'm not the one that you once knew

Beneath the Hawthorne tree

I've nothing left to offer you

So little left of me

Hey love, I guess you should have let me go

Hey love we had a dream

Hey love, you know I never really know

Hey love we lost our dream

Here in the water

Where the lovers drown

Love you ought to know

That I would let you down

Here by the water

Where the lovers drown

Love you got to leave me

In the cold, dark, ground

And I would let you down

And I would watch you break

I'll be gone in the morning

With a soul to take

You got to let me go

Because I lie awake

I know in the morning

There's a soul to take

And everything I ever was

Is faded now to scattered dust

But I would never drag you by the hand

And I could offer bitter bliss

The cruelty of my clay cold kiss

Would that I could make you understand

Can you see the garden green

Where you and I once walked

And everything that's left of me

Is withered to a stalk

But you have been my apple tree

And I have been your sun

So maybe you'll remember me

When all the world is done

Hey love, I guess you should have let me go

Hey love, we lost a dream

Hey love, I guess you never really know

Hey love, we lived a dream
