27 Hours Songtext
von Deadstring Brothers

Never thought this life of crime
Would make your world collide with mine
All those games spent killing time
As life haunted
On the cloudy afternoon
The sky turned blue
I think of you
And all those dark times we went through
As life haunted
On the strange lit avenue
She looked my way
And says, "How do?"
I guess my eyes
They told the truth
And she wandered on


I'm a man of much regret
For things I did
For things I said
I don't suppose
That you would forget
Maybe forgive
If I step up
And take the blame
For moments caused
Wrought with pain
It doesn't mean
Everything just look at you
Standing there accusing me
Gonna burn it down, just to see
If it gets up you let it bleed
Ruthlessly Ruthlessly

27 hours wasted
27 days that I wait
27 months pass slowly
Seasons never change
They will remain
They will

So that ship is sailing off
As I was standing on the dock
I think my watch it must've stopped
Or slowed a bit
Is that her waving back at me
Or forward to her fiancée
I don't know I can't see her face
Anymore
Waitin' on the summer sun
I know which one of us is torn
Wearin' that crown of thorns
Til Autumn comes


Love's just went down underwater
And the tide is risin'
There ain't no lifeboat or life vests
To save this drowning
There goes the Coast Guard
And they're dragging
For remains
Remains

27 hours wasted
27 days that I wait
27 months pass slowly
Seasons never change
They will remain
They will
