Wild Weve Been by Skye Steele Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This coat still carries a trace of your scent
Though days go by and I’m turning within
I reach for your face in the dark of my bed
But shadows won’t fill the palm of my hand
When I was a child I was haunted by blood
In my ears, in the dark like an onrushing flood
Now a man, my blood seems cooler at last
But the waters of memory are rising fast
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Oh, deep in the sound of the woods in the night
I heard your voice and the way we fight
The wild we’ve been, the hurt we’ve done
Oh, all those animal things we call love
Will I see you again in the city of stone?
Will our eyes meet and pass, has it been so long?
My face and my hands seem the same to me
But you might not recognize this heart, I’m sorry
[Verse 3]
Now the ice is melting down from the roof
And the path in the snow’s showing patches of earth
My time’s not long in this place of peace
So I’m wringing my pen for every last drop of her ink
And I’m wringing my pen for every last drop of her ink
I’m wringing my pen for all of her ink
This coat still carries a trace of your scent
Though days go by and I’m turning within
I reach for your face in the dark of my bed
But shadows won’t fill the palm of my hand
When I was a child I was haunted by blood
In my ears, in the dark like an onrushing flood
Now a man, my blood seems cooler at last
But the waters of memory are rising fast
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Oh, deep in the sound of the woods in the night
I heard your voice and the way we fight
The wild we’ve been, the hurt we’ve done
Oh, all those animal things we call love
Will I see you again in the city of stone?
Will our eyes meet and pass, has it been so long?
My face and my hands seem the same to me
But you might not recognize this heart, I’m sorry
[Verse 3]
Now the ice is melting down from the roof
And the path in the snow’s showing patches of earth
My time’s not long in this place of peace
So I’m wringing my pen for every last drop of her ink
And I’m wringing my pen for every last drop of her ink
I’m wringing my pen for all of her ink
