lyrics

Leona Miles Away

So I inch my way along, now
My thoughts run aimlessly
I’m knee-deep in the remnants
Of Leona’s darkest dreams
Maybe I’ve grown a little bit too accustomed to the night
That’s why I’m trying to turn my face into the light, yeah

And the pain’s been grating on us
And all our silver moons are spent
And while the summer sky ignores us
The wild winds never relent
We’ve been tumbling like dizzy leaves falling down
We feel like we’re two of the darkest souls around

But Leona she has nothing left to say
She’s started drifting miles and miles away
And the cold rain slowly blurred my window pane
Leona, she has nothing left to say

Upstairs in the attic,
Where the moonlight creeps through fractures in the wall
That’s where I’m gonna tell her everything,
Where I’m gonna give to her my all
I’ve never known a tale that’s better left untold
I’ve never had so many secrets to withhold

But Leona she has nothing left to say
She’s started drifting miles and miles away
And the cold rain slowly blurred my window pane
Leona, she has nothing left to say
