Lyrics
Darlin’, if we make it through the winter
I will find another love
And be strung from up above
Is she a saviour, a whore, or another opportunist?
I will bend my knees in time
Underneath these tattered lines
Oh it is fine
Waiting on everything
That’s mine
You just came over me
Somewhere in the springtime lies a lover
She is fare in ways you’ll never know
Underground her bones are thawing slow
Bring me to her
Like you done me to the water
Where I saw myself in peaks and troughs
Let me stay here a little while
While this all wears off
Oh it is fine
Waiting on everything
That’s mine
You just came over me
Oh it is fine
Waiting on everything
That’s mine
It just occurred to me
You are a perfect disguise
I’ve got a lot of them to see
Oh, but I’ll turn away
Can’t let ‘em follow me
And I can see in your eyes
I got a lot of space in there for me
Oh, but I’ll turn away
Can’t let ‘em swallow me
Lately, while the river’s laughing at me
Wander back behind a stranger’s face
You and I will grey in our separate place
But bring me to her
Like you done me to the water
Where I saw myself in peaks and troughs
Let me stay here a little while
While this all wears off
Oh, it is fine
