Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said "Walk with me" Down the narrow path behind your place Roots like fingers Clawing through the dirt we’d face You laughed at the omen sign Cracked red paint on the weathered gate I kissed your shoulder You said "Careful what you wake" [Chorus] Hemlock shade Where the sun don’t dare our names Where you swore you’d stay Then you slipped right through my hands Hemlock shade All our secrets taste the same I still drink that day Every time I hear your name [Verse 2] You traced circles In the moss where the stones sank low Said "If love is real Why’s it scared of letting go?" Wind pulled hard at your coat You just smiled like you knew the joke Pulled me closer Said "Promise this won’t choke" [Chorus] Hemlock shade Where the sun don’t dare our names Where you swore you’d stay Then you slipped right through my hands Hemlock shade All our secrets taste the same I still drink that day Every time I hear your name [Bridge] Now I walk that path alone Counting every cracked grey stone As if one more turn Could pull you back from the cold You in the hemlock Calling me home [Chorus] Hemlock shade Where the sun don’t dare our names Where you swore you’d stay Then you slipped right through my hands Hemlock shade All our secrets taste the same I still drink that day Every time I hear your name
