The Ship Will Bring You Home
Afternoon Talk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late night in the backyard
We said nothing, we're in pain
We've spent another nights but never seems so sad like today

And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow you'll sail in the sea
And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow i'll be in the grief

Waking up in the day where you will be gone
Packing up all your things and all the goods
Building up all the trust and affection
I know that you'll be back, i can't believe it's true!

And oh, we've came along through the time together but now you're gone
And oh, we've came along through the time together but now you're gone from here

Late night in the backyard
We said nothing, we're in pain
We've spent another nights but never seems so sad like today

And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow you'll sail in the sea




And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow i'll be in the grief
