lyrics

IVORY
Written by Dylan Menzie

Hold me close,
I wanna feel you breathing.
Don’t let go,
The light’s retreating
And time we take is only borrowed.
Here today and gone tomorrow.

When I finally go,
promise me,
I wanna feel my home
and history,
cover me in stone, and let me sleep.
Leave me to be bone and ivory.

I’m holding on
to fading memories.
My flesh and blood,
I wanna feel them with me.
In every spark,
in every ember,
they light the dark and burn forever.

When I finally go,
promise me,
I wanna feel my home
and history,
cover me in stone, and let me sleep.
Leave me to be bone and ivory.

When I finally go,
promise me,
I wanna feel my home
and history,
cover me in stone, and let me sleep.
Leave me to be bone and ivory.

Hold me close,
I wanna feel you breathing.
Don’t let go,
the light’s retreating.
And when morning comes
and you fade from view,
I swear my love, I will return to you.

When I finally go,
promise me,
I wanna feel my home
and history,
cover me in stone, and let me sleep.
Leave me to be bone and ivory.

When I finally go,
promise me,
I wanna feel my home
and history,
cover me in stone, and let me sleep.
Leave me to be bone and ivory.
