Husk - Keaton Henson

It seems like yesterday

You took my breath away

How could the world still turn?

We’re not what we thought we were

Must you be leavin' so soon, so soon, so soon, oh?

I was just fallin' for you, for you, for you

I’m sorry I’m late, I was ablaze

I was just starting on hopin' you’d stay

Must you be leavin' so soon, soon?

The death of a century

Has sunken its teeth in me

How the hands of the clock

Are beating to death

Our memory

I’m older than the man

I was when I began

What use is breathing in

If I’m nothing more than skin?

Must you be leavin' so soon, so soon, so soon, oh?

I was just fallin' for you, for you, for you now

I held my tongue when we were young

Holdin' my horses but jumpin' the gun

I must be aging now too, too

The death of a century

Has sunken its teeth in me

How the hands of the clock

Are beating to death

Our memories

Must you be leaving so soon, so soon, so soon?
