The Great Fire

Future Islands

I can't ask you now 
But if I could, I'd say the same

And I can't be the wound you wear to sleep, always

And I can't watch you dream 
Beside a fire 
You made to leave 

But if you let me be there, again 
If you let me be there, again 
If you let me be there, again 
I'll be still, won't say a word 

And I will wait tonight 
Along a pier, alone in light

And I will wait in sight, for you to call 
In purple night 

But I can't watch you dream 
Beside a fire 
You made to leave 

But, if you let me be there, again 
If you let me be there, again 
If you let me be there, again 
I'll be still, won't say a word 

If you let me be there, again 
I'll be still, won't say a word
