Sam Smith - Dear Seamus Heaney lyrics

Midnight snowfall in the sleeping north A black dog at the gate again Mind-soothing crimson wine and Alabaster books Lamp shadows veil the plaster ceiling Slow-dance snowfall in the freezing north A black dog at the gate again Mood-soothing capsules and Therapeutic books Deep shadows shroud the plaster ceiling [Pre-Chorus] Fifteen years of An unheated room Signs that weren't there Clocks in the room In that harsh chair Staring for hours Breath fissuring out of me and Fixed eyes like stars [Chorus] And I Lift tired eyes to the sky Dear Seamus Heaney I Hold my boy to my chest Snug as a gun Lift salt eyes to the sky Dear Seamus Heaney I Hold my girl to my chest Snug as a gun Snow-soft footfalls in the freezing west A still moon shines its silver light The whiskey bottle twisted Metal on gla** Another night of echoes and falling [Pre-Chorus] Sixteen years old An unheated room Signs that weren't there Clocks in the room In that bleak chair Staring for hours Breath fissuring out of me and Fixed eyes like stars [Chorus] And I Lift tired eyes to the sky Dear Seamus Heaney I Hold my boy to my chest Snug as a gun Lift salt eyes to the sky Dear Seamus Heaney I Hold my girl to my chest Snug as a gun
