The Family Crest - The Headwinds lyrics
[The Family Crest - The Headwinds lyrics]
There was a cold December snow
On the streets and towns below
You struck your name into the ground with me
But love, like all frigid things
We did melt away with ease
Washed away iniquities
We sailed out into the sea
Like a wave upon the shore
We rose up and crashed
Back down upon ourselves
And the words that fill our lips
Bitter shrieks and evil quips
Oh how they stained
How they stain the ground below
Like a horn that breaks the fog
I beat down here on my chest, love
Like a drum
And you'll hear my growling voice
Once so silent
Now I've got no god damned choice
But to sing my bitter song
Let the headwinds pull the tune
Out of my lungs and my voice it whimpers low
Dearest lover, I don't know
Should I stay, or should I go?
And love like the autumn leaves
Oh our fate, it was to die away with ease
And my dear, in years to come
Will you think of me with
Hate here or with love
And oh this house we built of stone
It crumbles back to the earth below
And I am done and you are done
And we are gone
And nothing's left here but this song
On the streets and towns below
You struck your name into the ground with me
But love, like all frigid things
We did melt away with ease
Washed away iniquities
We sailed out into the sea
Like a wave upon the shore
We rose up and crashed
Back down upon ourselves
And the words that fill our lips
Bitter shrieks and evil quips
Oh how they stained
How they stain the ground below
Like a horn that breaks the fog
I beat down here on my chest, love
Like a drum
And you'll hear my growling voice
Once so silent
Now I've got no god damned choice
But to sing my bitter song
Let the headwinds pull the tune
Out of my lungs and my voice it whimpers low
Dearest lover, I don't know
Should I stay, or should I go?
And love like the autumn leaves
Oh our fate, it was to die away with ease
And my dear, in years to come
Will you think of me with
Hate here or with love
And oh this house we built of stone
It crumbles back to the earth below
And I am done and you are done
And we are gone
And nothing's left here but this song
