Waking The Dead Lyrics - Love At The End Of The World - Sam Roberts

You only miss it when it's long gone 

You only hear it when it's our song 

These are the echoes of the dream time 

This is a message from another life 

This is a haunting of your own mind 

These are the echoes of the dream time 

You only miss it when it's long gone 

I've been waking the dead 

I've been leaning on tradition 

Trying to make amends with the dead 

Prayer candles that I burn at both ends 

Missed opportunities we won't share again 

I recognized in the touch of a friend 

That I am closer to the place I began 

And so far from where I want it to end 

You only miss it when it's long gone 

You only hear it when it's our song 

Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down 

Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down 

And now I'm walking with the dead 

An apparition trying to get ahead 

Bleed some pressure from this hole in my heavy head 

And there was high water everywhere 

Back teeth are swimming and I wished I cared 

My teeth are swimming and I wish that I cared 

You only miss it when it's long gone 

You only hear it when it's our song 

Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down 

Keep looking up 'cause it's a long way down 

And I feel like making a confession 

Or running for the door 

If we could heal a little bit of this broken pride 

We might survive 

These are the echoes of the dream time 

This is a message from another life 

This is a haunting of your own mind 

These are the echoes of the dream time
