lyrics

Come and fire walk with me
Tell me just how bad your luck can be
Take a breath and rest in peace
Rest in peace

When near is far enough away
Save your promise for another day
Spend it on a wretch like me
Wretch like me

And it feels like I’m getting old
The sun is warm but the nights get cold
I might be lost but i’m dressed up in gold
Dressed up in gold

Take everything you need
I’ll be your skeleton key
The promise on the breeze
Take everything you need
I’ll be your skeleton key
Would you follow me?

Tell your friends a little lie
Excuse yourself and join me outside
Meet me by the edge of the road
Together we could be bold

We’ll find ourselves a little space
Where peculiar is common place
Somewhere kind of out of the way
Somewhere to stay

When it feels like we’re getting old
The days are long but the nights get cold
We might be lost but we’ll dress up in gold
Dress up in gold

While the sun is still our friend
Just making time for us to spend together
Never coming down

Take everything you need
I’ll be your skeleton key
The promise on the breeze
Take everything you need
I’ll be your skeleton key
Would you follow me?
