Lonely Universe Lyrics - Angel Olsen

1 Your hands were cold

2 Your voice was shaky

3 One morning not too long ago

4 And at the time I was only a child

5 About to lose my childlike mind

6 The way you touched my hands

7 Like you never had before

8 It wasn't you anymore

9 I called for my brothers

10 I called for my sisters

11 But there was nothing left for them to do

12 And so I watched from far away

13 As the ambulances came

14 And started dressing for school

15 Goodbye sweet mother earth

16 Without you now I'm a lonely universe

17 You won't always understand

18 When you've truly loved someone

19 Until after they've gone

20 This time of year the nights fall longer

21 So grow a spine or catch cold

22 The winter months they do make you feel stronger

23 But in the end it's all getting old

24 And you won't always be walking the safest streets

25 But you can find your way home

26 If you have imagined your way back

27 Then my dear you're more than halfway there

28 And you might only possess

29 What you've carried on your back

30 But you've always been free

31 Now it's time to believe

32 Time to give up that unforgiving act of altogetherness

33 And start living out your oldest childhood dreams

34 Well, losing your minds it ain't half as bad as it seems

35 And if you would take the risk

36 Well, it might be worth your time

37 It's only your life

38 It's only going by

39 Goodbye sweet mother earth

40 Without you now I'm a lonely universe

41 You won't always understand

42 When you've truly loved someone

43 Until after they've gone
