lyrics

I will walk right into
Your trap like always
And settle into you
Ooh oooh ooh
A carbon copy
Of my history please
Baby, help me if you can
Ooh oooh ooh

Holy roller Sundays
I’ll be missing your face
I remember what we were
Ooh oooh ooh
You and I are just like
Oil and Water
And I just can’t shake it off
Ooh oooh ooh

I’ve held on through hell
I have known the greatest fear
I’ve come through the darkest hours and still you bring me to tears
I’ve suffered your loss while I
I held your hand so tight
I’ve known your tongue like a knife and the heart that hides from the light
I’ve run to you
In the black of coldest night
Against the wildest winds that I
Could never, ever fight

It’s in this image that Gina Barrington found solace and inspiration for her band.

Rose Of The West is dream pop with a dark side. ... more
