Written by: Jesse Sykes Spooky American Music BMI (adm by BMG)

lyrics

On a distant hill
I get my body to lay still.
Without my home,
this work I must do all alone.

Between them trees,
is all the world's fuckery.
I begged for light,
where you once stood,
a fever came and I called your name.

My girl,
Let's dance
across that sunlit room.
Oh, my girl.
I'll hold you in the afternoon.

If evening's kind,
It'll give us light
to take our time.
When that treeline's gone,
you will know I've carried on.

My girl,
Let's dance,
across that sunlit room.
Oh, my girl,
I'll hold you in the afternoon.
