Sandhills

The Coral


When I think
That there’s nothing left to say
Then you say it again
Hurts like never before
Searching to find an open door

I’ll tell you this
We’ll never meet again
When I’m feeling this way
And with these words
You will fly,
Like a bird
In the unforgiving sky

Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind

We could dive
Beneath the golden waves,
We could be saved
And through the sandhills
We’d ride,
Like the leaves
On the vine of forgotten time

Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind

And when the distant whispers
Call my name
In the blackest heartlands
Of my shame

I hear you laugh
I know it’s all a game
Look around there’s no-one
Left to blame
I’m losing my way

I could hide
Familiar in my pain
Serve my sorrows in vain
Or I could step right outside
And show you that I’m alive

And I’ll leave you behind
I’ll leave you behind.
I’ll leave you behind.
I’ll leave you behind.
