Dermot Kennedy A Closeness song lyrics

Keeping her bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you

Isn't she all of us pining for that last kiss, a permanent truth, a means to get through

Maybe we'll cry whilst hopeful when we think about the past being cruel

Got a thought for those who start to think of love as the pursuit of a fool, it's a palace from ruin

Deep into the night, eyes closing, heart swollen with my loving for you

A solid embrace, kind face, and then the hurt starts leaving the room, followed by goons

Sometimes it's open, white lights that roll at night, you got a heart like the moon

Gather courage, if you're doing something, do it, 'cause she got to go soon

If I could now

I'd never tell you not to love her

However, leaving her a long way from her home

And it ain't no promise, cracking over time

A private corner of Roma

Don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

If I had you now

So keep them bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you

Don't give me that bye-bye baby when the night moves into black from the blue

The nights you've been through

Just give me that wide smile made for putting songs into the hearts of the doomed

And catch a cold heart staring at the water, babe, remember you flew

If I could now

I'd never tell you not to love her

However, leaving her a long way from her home

It ain't no promise, cracking over time

A private corner of Roma

Don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

I'd never tell you not to love her

However, leaving her a long way from her home

And it ain't no promise, cracking over time

A private corner of Roma

Don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

If I could now

So say what you want, dear

But the courage was won

With the way that you spoke here

When the dreaming was done
