House Of The Rising Sun--A cappella Cover

In case you’re not breathing tonight
There’s a lake at the back of my head
Just below the skin there’s more
And many more miles to swim through
Was it the thickness of my hands 
That made it so hard to please you?

I remember the sharp hill
I remember the tower
I haven’t met your face before

In case you’re not breathing tonight, 
There’s a lake at the back of my head
We held it together for a little while
And what for? We buried the living 
On the thirtieth of the year

Is it the soft blue of my skin 
That makes it hard to see the end?
You stay on your own, washed out by the rain
And never try to go to sleep
But standing at the cross road, sparks in your pockets
Tell me, why did you come up here?

I remember your humming
I remember the water
I haven’t heard your name before

In case you’re not breathing tonight
There’s a lake at the back of my head
That’s where you’ll find me, falling star
Here, see the lights floating apart
That’s where I’ll be waiting
