Burgundy Place Lyrics


I drove to burgundy place, you haven’t smiled in days
We meet for brunch every Tuesday so we don’t lose track of time
You say this milk is expired, I joke it must have conspired
With fate and time to realign molecules to make us the fools
But you’re still drifting, half stood there, half listening

Purple pink skies and the sadness behind your eyes
We finalize the epitaph lines and sigh
Take pity now, take pity now
On the shape of your shadow, over the hollow space
Where only we know, here lies a pretty face
Then we bury it at Burgundy Place

You spin your words on the table just like your favorite old records
They skip and stop in odd places, still holding on to old faces
Half stood there, half thinking

Purple pink skies and the sadness behind your eyes
We finalize the epitaph lines and sigh
Take pity now, take pity now
On the shape of your shadow, over the hollow space
Where only we know, here lies a pretty face
Then we bury it at

Oh, some ghosts don’t go down easy
We hear them cry out at midnight
Oh the sun won’t always find us
Standing here in the best light
As we bleed to prove we’re breathing
And the story dies, a healing
No, some ghosts don’t go down easy
At Burgundy Place

Purple pink skies and the sadness behind your eyes
We finalize the epitaph lines and sigh
Take pity now, take pity now
On the shape of your shadow, over the hollow space
Where only we know, here lies
Here lies, here lies
Here lies a Burgundy Place

Burgundy Place
Burgundy Place
At Burgundy Place
