Lyrics Johnny Flynn - In April

The day we met my life was changed
I always heard that love was strange and
painful
painful

One night you slept upon your side
Tangled in white you looked just like
an angel
an angel

So why did you fly away
I’ve been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free

Down by the water dressed in black
I swore revenge to get you back
hateful
hateful

I made my camp upon the hill
Drank whisky from the secret still
blameful
blameful

So why did you fly away
i’ve been dying a little death since that very day
i used to laugh when you told me
you must forget and forgive to be free

And I never could admit
the part I had in it
So this is what I get my friend

Drunk in a field with scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost
In April
In April

I stood before the hypocrite
There in the mirror brightly lit
shameful
shameful

Now I know why you ran away
And I’ve been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
you must forget and forgive
You must forgive just to live
you must forget and forgive to be free
