Running To Persia
Running To Persia - Gin lyrics
Your rating:
3 AM silence is burning Each breath like a wasp in the nest That stings in the walls of my ribcage A weight pulling down on my chest. And the wolves at my door have gone wild Their voices scream lonely and thin But they sound like a choir of angels When I'm hollow enough to give in. There's a girl I drank heavy to cure me. Bared her heart for me once and again But she don't keep me warm in the winter Guess I mistook her for gin. There's a voice I can't place but it soothes me Coming over the car radio Like the way she first told me she loved me Her eyes coming up from the floor. And at night I sleep like a traitor My heart rests a thorn in my side And I bite on the words I remember Of a pretty young poet who died. That a door open wide is an ocean I'm gone on my way to get lost And I can't tell a window from eyes anymore I can't tell the tears from the frost. And I'm dizzy and drowning and down on my luck I'm in love with the lights in a blur. She steals me a glance and I buy her a drink And we sit with our backs to the curb And the door open wide is an ocean And she tells me to jump and I swim Broke through the window, her eyes to the floor. Guess I mistook her for gin.
