walk in the dark

Ryan Adams

Every morning I wake
Dreaming of you
On a window of a lane
By the window of your room

Your long brown locks
Fall across your face
Your memory comes crashing down
Till all my bones break

I call out your name
It echoes in the room
I sleep on the couch
A bed will not do

And I don't wanna let go
Take me back to the start
I will love you while we are learning
To walk in the dark

I write your name in every colour
A flower was made
And bury my face in your memory
Of all my mistakes

In the doorway of the streets
Where you used to stand
And kiss me goodbye
You would hold out your hand

It's starting to rain
On Broadway and Canal
While the radiator rumbles
And the rain's coming down

I don't wanna let go
Take me back to the start
I will love you while we are learning
To walk in the dark

Your fingers still slide
From my wrist to my hand
On our way to the station
In the rain while the traffic's all jammed

Now there's nothing to say
Not even "goodnight"
I just scribble your name in tears
In the book of my life

You will always be saved
Some place behind my eyes
Where it's always summer
And we laugh in the summertime

I don't wanna let go
Take me back to the start
I will love you while we are learning
To walk in the dark
Walk in the dark
Walk in the dark
