The Albatross by Naomi King Lyrics

Hang around my neck, pulling me down
Hang around my head, dragging me down
To where you lie
To where you wait for I
Sit there on my shoulder, whisper your spell
Watch me growing older; you know it well
To where you lie
To where you wait for my demise

You want to watch me fall like you’ve
Done a thousand times
You want to watch me fall back to you

[Chorus]
The Albatross, the Albatross
Coming to take me away
The Albatross, the Albatross
Coming to take me away
The darkness grows stronger
The darkness grows thicker
The darkness grows closer
To take me away
Grab onto my hand as I try to leave
Grab onto my hand as I try to get
Away from you
Away from my own tomb
Grab onto my heart as I try to go
Grab onto my heart as I try to run
Away from you
Away from my own tomb

You don’t want to feel alone in your
Pit of your despair
You don’t want to be alone, no

[Chorus]

To take me away
Misery loves company and
That’s why you’re never alone
Misery loves company
Misery loves company and
That’s why you’re never alone
Misery loves company

The Albatross, the Albatross
Coming to take me away
The Albatross, the Albatross
Coming to take me
The darkness grows stronger
The darkness grows thicker
The darkness grows closer
To take me away

[Chorus]

To take me away
To take me away
To take me away
