sounds like fo real, real:

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Give them all they can drink,
Cause wine is only blood.
And we will see it fit to carry them home
With given tact.
Verse 2:
I wasn t going to wake you,
so I crept out the front door.
But I suppose you felt my ghost evade.
I guess since then, it hasn t been the same.
Verse 3:
But I ve seen the shoreline,
I know where you remain.
The light that guides the seamen home
has burned down and washed along the rocks.
I still have that letter crumpled in my coat
And I still feel the breeze in my chest.
Verse 4:
I know no other way to reach you,
I fear that I never will.
Just know that I ve loved you to the end.
My dear, I have loved you to the end.
Chorus:
Weary, my heart (3x)
A forest of trees separates you from me (6x)
Refrain/Outro:
I know no other way to reach you,
I fear that I never will.
Just know that I loved you to the end.
My dear, I have loved you to the end.
My dear, I have loved you to the end.
My dear, I have loved you to the end.
