Lyrics for Heirloom
When your heirloom's wilted brown When the devil's pushing down When your mourning has a sound And you hesitate to laugh How quickly will your joy pass How quickly will your joy pass And when you walk inside I feel the door I'll never let it push your arms no more And when your legs give out just lie right down And I will kiss you till your breath is found And when you walk inside I feel the door I'll never let it push your arms no more So do you think I came to fight? And do I always think I'm right? Oh no I never meant to be a pest to anyone this time Oh no I only meant to be a friend to everyone this time
