The Veils - Talk Down The Girl Lyrics

The Veils Lyrics

"Talk Down The Girl"

Seven moons for seven seas
Won't let them get the better of me
They'll pass me by
Don't pass me by

My seven fears all fear of me
They'll take their leave eventually
Well they can try
They can try

My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories up
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done

Darling you let me know

Talk down the girl
Talk down the girl

So little knowledge known to me
So little colour left to see
But black and white
Black and white
A silhouette at seventeen
If they can find what's left of me
For the fire
Burn in the fire

My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories up
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done

Talk down the girl
Talk down the girl

There's little more for us to say
You've made your mind up anyway
Another world
Another world
I hate to leave you here this way
But I can't think where you should stay
I miss my girl
I miss my girl

My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories on
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done

Darling you let me know

Talk down the girl
Talk down the girl
