John Moreland – Hearts And Flowers lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pick your poison, it ain't my fault
Cold water river is more like a swamp
I see that scene, I hear that voice
Hearts and flowers: my drugs of choice

[Chorus]
Boy, don't ever think you're alone
You keep the company of old grey ghosts
And they never, ever, ever leave your side
They fight off the stillness when it kills you inside

[Verse 2]
The rain fell harder, it didn't quit
I wore that boot 'til it didn't fit
I broke the map out, followed the clues
Went on a mission for the Avalon blues

[Chorus]
Boy, don't ever think you're alone
You keep the company of old grey ghosts
And they never, ever, ever leave your side
They fight off the stillness when it kills you inside

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
So girl, let’s get married, may love never leave us
Lord knows we ain't perfect, yeah, but love will redeem us
And one day with flowers laid on our graves
Fight off the stillness and float through the haze

[Chorus]
Don’t ever think you're alone
You keep the company of old grey ghosts
And they never, ever, ever leave your side
They fight off the stillness when it kills you inside
Fight off the stillness when it kills you inside
