Justin Vernon
song for a lover (of long ago)
[Verse 1]
Ring on the bar
Clinging watermark
It hints at what I had
And calls up what I can't
[Verse 2]
I wring you out of me
I shake the memory free
I can't squash them open sores
Can't chase away the hole
[Chorus]
I have buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
[Verse 3]
Ring, sound the alarm
The sting, my broken arm
The faintest violinist
Buried in my gut
There are chances and choices
Sometimes you just have to cut
[Chorus]
I have buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
I have buried you
In my shaking hands
You keep ending up
Every place I've been
[Break]
[Chorus]
I have buried you
Every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
You keep ending up
In every place I've been
In my shaking hands
In every place I've been
