Last Rites Songtext
von Lovely Dark

The house she grew up in is now
Adrift in an ocean of sand
Cactus line the drive
Spires in a line
Empty malls entwine

First love, last rites
Of the pure hearted
No regrets, it′s just life
Save the dreaming for when we're asleep


A red-eyed sunset bled white
Caught in the driveway, tongue-tied
Sweetest thing she knows
Heavy like a stone
Thrown around young bones
In the fading light of day
Memories fall away
And only dust remains

First love, last rites
Of the pure hearted
No regrets, it′s just life
Save the dreaming for when we're asleep

But it brings you round
Eyes grow wiser
So tell me again
And whisper my lines to me
