Bree Sharp Ballad Of Grim And Lily Lyrics

Ballad Of Grim And Lily Lyrics

It's six o'clock, the sun goes down 



The hotel shudders with the sound Of Grim and Lily's kiss good-bye 



(Oh, baby, not good-bye) 



Tired of their life of crime they make a plan for one last time 







We'll be on an island, far away, all alone 



We'll be on an island, tucked away, my love 



We're almost home 







A painting of a velvet clown 



Hides enough to skip this town 



If Grim gets there before his boss 



He'll pull the final double-cross 



Lily flicks her cigarette 



Her face is tight and white and wet, 



But Grim's so tired of his gun 



Says, "Lil, I wanna see the ocean" 







We'll be on an island, far away, all alone 



We'll be on an island, tucked away, my love 



We're almost home 







Time is ticking, pulse is quickening 



She's sick about the thickness of this plot 



Her fingers knot, the car is hot and it takes all the strength she's got not to
fall 



apart when she hears the single shot 







Lily bends to meet Grim's face. As they hold hands, she whispers... 



"We've come so far, we're almost home, we've come so far. Don't 



give this up. Don't give this up -- look in my eyes... 



And you'll see an island, far away, all alone. We'll be on an island, tucked
away, my 



love, we're almost home..."
