lyrics

Don’t Come Back Now (Skaught)

Take your picture with the light already spent
Fathoms deep but still we walk the plank again
Hold dear
All you spirits now resigned
But don’t come back I won’t be around

Blazing autumn’s fallen leaves still in her hair
Kicking stones to find a spark still left somewhere
No prayers
Only sick and cold inside
But don’t come back I won’t be around

(chorus)
Heart don’t make a sound
Don’t come back now
Now
Heart don’t cry out loud
Don’t come back now
Now

I’m a sinner now I’m learning to believe
Gathered trinkets full of light I’ll never need
No seers
Just the sparkle in your eyes
But don’t come back I won’t be around

(chorus)

(bridge)
I’m alone but I’m not lonely
I’m alone but I’m alright
I’m alone but I’m not lonely
I’m alone but I’m alright

(chorus)
