Copper Hair Psalm

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] I keep my hands in my coat When you walk by the gate That red hair catches sun Like a flame I don't deserve to take You smile like you know What I hide behind my eyes I nod and look away While my whole damn chest comes alive [Pre-Chorus] I don't say a word I bite through the pain 'Cause love like this Can burn a man in shame You turn my silence Into a holy fight And I stay here aching At the edge of your light [Chorus] Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay You smile at me And I break that way Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay I'm yours in secret Every day (red hair, stay) [Verse 2] I hear your boots on the porch And I lose my breath I swear the whole wide world Gets quiet around your steps You laugh with your friends I stand like a ghost in the yard Wanting one honest touch From your soft red spark [Pre-Chorus] I don't say a word I keep it in chain 'Cause wanting you clean Feels safer than the stain But every little glance Pulls me back in line Like a sinner on his knees At the altar of your shine [Chorus] Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay You smile at me And I break that way Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay I'm yours in secret Every day (red hair, stay) [Bridge] If I told you tonight Would the sky come down? Would you still look my way When the shame wears out? I'm not asking for mercy Just a place in your flame One small truth on my tongue One chance to say your name [Breakdown] [Ad lib] I watched you I lost my nerve I loved you More than I earned [Final Chorus] Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay You smile at me And I break that way Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay I'm yours in secret Every day Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay If you knew my heart Would you look the same? Red hair, don't fade Red hair, stay I'm yours in secret Every day (red hair, stay)
