Avalanche Patrol DANCEHALLHORNSOUND Remix by Astronautalis Lyrics
We've got a long way to go
Before we finish our patrol
Light burns off in the distance
No one dares make a sound
Scared we might wake the snow
Sleeping giants love to listen
And tethered together by lines of gold
Two of my brothers on patrol
Our breathing keeps us in rhythm
Well honey I know it's getting cold
Eyes on the wool cape you have wove
I can smell your lavender and lipstick
You would never
Ask me when I'm coming home
You know better
Than to wait and watch the snow
All the other wives and mothers pray and count their rosaries
Not my lover, her lipstick and lavender keeps her close to me
(Keep close)
(Stay close)
(So close)
(Keep close)
(Keep close)
(Stay close)
(So close)
(Keep close)
Hold me close as the hour escapes
The sunlight running on the mountain's ravenous face
The moon came too soon, it'll stay too late
And I can feel that goddamn bell before they even ring it
Gold heats in your hair at 4 PM and it'll
Cool to amber as the sun sets again
Light through the blinds paints patterns on skin
Your head dovetails so nicely right there on my chest where you laid it
When I'm out in the shop with my face to the forge
I think of you, my love, as I tend to the coals
Flames high in their eyes are all for show
Dreaming, lying to themselves that they've bridled Hades baby
A fire that's good take patience, control
Even bellow breathing this work is painfully slow
But you must hold on cause you'll taste the reward
When that white iron draws out, just like it was painted
I know you know this, but I tell you this time
Cause I need to say it out loud just so I can feel right
If you listen to me whisper it, my lips will graze your ear with every line
You memorize every word, just as I say it
So press into me and leave marks in my side
I promise to pull you in until my knuckles go white
I gotcha breathing with me now as the sun slips behind
The mountain ridge to the west
The day is finished
Before we finish our patrol
Light burns off in the distance
No one dares make a sound
Scared we might wake the snow
Sleeping giants love to listen
And tethered together by lines of gold
Two of my brothers on patrol
Our breathing keeps us in rhythm
Well honey I know it's getting cold
Eyes on the wool cape you have wove
I can smell your lavender and lipstick
You would never
Ask me when I'm coming home
You know better
Than to wait and watch the snow
All the other wives and mothers pray and count their rosaries
Not my lover, her lipstick and lavender keeps her close to me
(Keep close)
(Stay close)
(So close)
(Keep close)
(Keep close)
(Stay close)
(So close)
(Keep close)
Hold me close as the hour escapes
The sunlight running on the mountain's ravenous face
The moon came too soon, it'll stay too late
And I can feel that goddamn bell before they even ring it
Gold heats in your hair at 4 PM and it'll
Cool to amber as the sun sets again
Light through the blinds paints patterns on skin
Your head dovetails so nicely right there on my chest where you laid it
When I'm out in the shop with my face to the forge
