Good Night, Gold Dust - Tiles lyrics

Good Night, Gold Dust – Tiles lyrics

When the crescent moon
fell from the southern sky
I found you on the kitchen tiles
Your glowing sunburn scars
shone like child’s smiles
I held you for a little while

I loved you then
I tried

Then the river flooded
Sank our homes like ships
Photos framed on the river bed
Then the drought singled out
broken window panes
I drew portraits I signed our names

I loved you then
I tried

All these rusting fields and hollow skies
We could live a long life

[Lyrics to Tiles by Good Night, Gold Dust]
