Lyrics Future Islands

Future Islands

The Great Fire

I can't ask you now

But if I could, I'd say the same

And I can't be the wound you wear to sleep, always

And I can't watch you dream

Beside a fire

You made to leave

But if you let me be there, again

If you let me be there, again

If you let me be there, again

I'll be still, won't say a word

And I will wait tonight

Along a pier, alone in light

And I will wait in sight, for you to call

In purple night

But I can't watch you dream

Beside a fire

You made to leave

But, if you let me be there, again

If you let me be there, again

If you let me be there, again

I'll be still, won't say a word

If you let me be there, again

I'll be still, won't say a word
