All My Friends - Dermot Kennedy

A thief in the night came

Took everything you gave for her

This song isn’t low, lady

It’s remembering love made in the summer

But I think of the things that it taught me

I learned that there’s beauty I can’t keep

Learned that there’s demons in stories

Letting her down, no, I won’t be

Whenever she’s calling, she’ll call me

Angry and seething as the sea

Songs in cathedrals in month three

Promise you’ll smile off a memory

And I, I, I

I couldn’t stop smiling like the whole way home

Yeah, it should feel like something you were missing

To all my friends, you’ll find your way

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

All my friends, I’d love to stay

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

Looking up lately

The moon doesn’t chase me no more

Before it was childlike

Lost in the soft light, and so on

And I, I, I

I couldn’t stop smiling like the whole way home

And yeah, it should be when she read out all she’d written

To all my friends, you’ll find your way

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

All my friends, I’d love to stay

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

The smell of rain and streetlight thrown

A love, a lantern in the snow

But when she feels it taking hold

Finds it so hard letting go

How can I tell her that we’ll shine?

She dreads the devil’s yet to show

So damn reluctant to expose it to me, so

So I think of the things that it taught me

She starts to think evil has lost me

I walked with the wolves and it haunts me

She steps with intention to run free

So stunner, don’t ever move softly

You’ve been on a journey they can’t see

When dancing in ballrooms, you will lead

Promise you’ll smile off a memory

And I, I, I

I couldn’t stop smiling like the whole way home

And yeah, it should feel like something you were missing

To all my friends, you’ll find your way

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

All my friends, I’d love to stay

Some summer night, I hope I see you again

The smell of rain and streetlight thrown

A love, a lantern in the snow

But when she feels it taking hold

She finds it so hard letting go

How can I tell her that we’ll shine?

She dreads the devil’s yet to show

What I told you when

That I told you when
