Soul To Keep (for Phyllis) Lyrics

Matt Skiba Soul To Keep (for Phyllis)

i woke up from a dream, i could've sworn i heard the 'phone
fan's blowing in the corner like it does when she's at home
familiar desperate feeling, always cold and dark inside
i'll probably sit here hoping soon that she'll be by my side.

yeah, i saw her smile that chased the blues away, her warmth will make it all okay
'cause it's one to go and one to stay, i guess it has to be that way
i found my kindred spirit, now she's with me as i sleep
and it's in her hands, up to her where she'll put my soul to keep.

out there in the hard world trying to blend into the day
a thousand different faces stare, i try to look away well, i
can feel her move within me and her voice is in my head
and with that in mind i seem to find a way back home again
