All My Friends (Lost In The Soft Light Sessions) lyrics

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

But looking up lately
The moon doesn't chase me no more
Before it was childlike
Lost in the soft light, and so on, so on

And I, I, I
I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home
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
She feels it taking hold
Finds it so hard letting go
Can I tell her that we'll shine?
She dreads the devil's yet to show
Reluctant to expose it to me, so
Well

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
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
She feels it taking hold
Finds it so hard letting go
Can I tell her that we'll shine?
She dreads the devil's yet to show

And I told you well
And I told you well
