How I'll Come Undone

from These Are The Hills by Stone & Snow

/

lyrics

I was born, I was born with our song in my lungs
I've a clear as day now, I’ve a clear as day picture of how I’ll come undone
Silhouettes so black against the richest of blue
When I close my eyes, when I close my eyes all I see is me with you

I saved the letters, I saved the letters that we wrote when everything was new
I can’t let them go, I can’t let them go for fear of letting go of you
And so this how it goes-- when I start I don't stop
Like a steam train rolling, like a steam train rolling on down from the mountaintop

The San Juan set afire, the San Juan set afire in late September
I wanna go back, I wanna go back there to remember
The trees stretch upward and offer up their branches
I'll watch the leaves, I’ll watch the leaves as they fall like ashes

Be my north star, be my north star and I’ll follow you by the book
But forgive my weakness, forgive my weakness for a twilight sky and a wistful look
In the end there’s not much more that I can confess
So lay me down, so lay me down unto the earth in a plain pine box and a black dress
