The Oh Hellos - Exeunt lyrics
[The Oh Hellos - Exeunt lyrics]
I was all alone, we were young
You were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
Lovely as the song in the
Air as the wind blows
Opiate as the cold of the
Frost on the windows
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes
(so deceiving)
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving
Now, I am not the fool I
Was when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
No, I cannot trust what you
Say when you're grieving
So, my love, I'm sorry
But still: I am leaving
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
Batter down my door when
You find me defenseless
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving
You were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
Lovely as the song in the
Air as the wind blows
Opiate as the cold of the
Frost on the windows
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes
(so deceiving)
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving
Now, I am not the fool I
Was when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
No, I cannot trust what you
Say when you're grieving
So, my love, I'm sorry
But still: I am leaving
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
Batter down my door when
You find me defenseless
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving
