Lyrics:

I saw you behind her trying hard not to look at her letter
well we all feign disinterest when matters seem out of our reach
The actress, she spied you with coal-black round eyes 
that she wore as dark diamonds for her nonchalant smile
and you defenestrated your gaze before it could be seen

Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain

They found me on the hillside as skin and bone
I had lain there awaiting a price to be sold at
as damp was advancing the length of my servant girl sleeves
Now when you look I turn my face away
see I was only a prisoner of the portraits they paint
I pulled back the curtain to pry us together again

Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
there's a roar rising through me that needs to come out 
but I don't think that I'll ever summon the courage to scream 
Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain

Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love! 
Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love!

And if the flames dance round my face in this night 
please don't stand there blackened, please just stand aside 
to collect my full heart from the ashes when passions subside

Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
I've risen in silence to pull their flags out 
and I've bled out my colours for every cause that they named

Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now 
all these helium dreams are delusions of grandeur
it's not meant to be that we'll ever come round from our pain

Hold me down, lover, oh hold me down now
the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain.

Romance at Russborough

Romance At Russborough

My name is Dylan Goff and I am a singer-songwriter from Drogheda in Ireland, living in Vienna Austria since the early 2000s. 

Musically I try to live somewhere between the indie and folk worlds, with influences ranging from The National, Frightened Rabbit and Phoebe Bridgers to Gregory Alan Isakov and Tallest Man on Earth to The Pogues and The Dubliners. I have always been inspired by the literary tradition of my home country, and writing is something I take great joy in. I hope my lyrics reflect this, and I hope you enjoy my music.
