When We Could Lyrics - In Memory Of Loss - Nathaniel Rateliff

If you call our names 

We'll come arise and ready and primed 

Such a sturdy face 

You can tell we're aging by the lines 

Keep on saying how 

That's sort of fine and strange, although 

Even if the wind has ceased to blow 

We won't run and we won't cry 

Look how we stand forever more, when we could 

Staying up and laughing all night, when we could 

Keep on smiling till it's bright, when we could 

When we could 

You sure called it right 

You said I'd wither and not grow back 

It's not a fine way to go 

I think we left there with our pride 

I hate to call out hands 

But pardon my way of being slow 

Cover me up and let me go 

And make it as thick and as dark as the night 

And we could laugh forever more, when we could 

Tear it up like the dogs at night, when we could 

And we could fight and bury it all, when we could 

When we could 

When we could...
