Dermot Kennedy - Refuge Lyrics


We can’t know the end until it’s over
Show your scars and let me pull you closer
Watching your silhouette dance off the lake
I promise I won’t let you break

I know the dark shows up more than we’d like
Carve it in stone so the story survives
Try to stand tall, try to get you to smile
Fight off what’s sensible, say I’m invincible
It’s all a lie
‘Cause darling, I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying

Then at least the memories
Of you and me don’t have to be perfect
Your sandy feet, the way you breathe
The subtle things that make it all worth it
Watching your silhouette dance off the lake
I promise I won’t let you break

I know the dark shows up more than we’d like
Carve it in stone so the story survives
Try to stand tall, try to get you to smile
Fight off what’s sensible, say I’m invincible
It’s all a lie
Darling, I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying
Died trying, died trying
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying

Trust these words, my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words, my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words, my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words, my heart is true
Love let me be your

Darling, I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying
