Broken Cheek

[intro]

The air was thick and full of ocean
And we were old then, and you were free
So I laid my head down under the dark clouds
I've grown restless and cannot dream

And the sun has set now
Below this ghost town
And the house was empty and so were we
So I laid my hands down to feel the cold ground
And feel the earth awake under my feet

Well I feel the blood running down my broken cheek
When heart and soul come crawling back to me

Well I feel the blood running down my broken cheek
When all the fear I held inside had its way with me

She closed her eyes and she read my fortune
She told me love was a dying thing
She took my hands and
Formed a mountain
And with my veins she
Found the stream

And I watched as it carried through the valleys
And carved a river right through the trees
Well I was young then
Strong and frightened
For it was dark now
And so were we

Well I feel the blood running down my broken cheek
When heart and soul come crawling back to me

Well I feel the blood running down my broken cheek
When all the fear I held inside
When all the fear I held inside
Had its way with me
