Don't come after
Don't come after
Don't come after

Come
Come
Come
Come

Don't come after
Don't come after
Please don't follow me along
When you read this I'll be gone

Ask the mountains
Springs and fountains
Why couldn't this go on?
Couldn't our happiness go on?
Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
When the night gives in, to tell you why

Ask the mountains
Wild woods, highlands
Ask the green in the woods and the trees
The cold breeze coming in from the sea

Springs and fountains
Ask the mountains
Springs and fountains
Ask the mountains

Springs and fountains
Ask the mountains

Springs and fountains
Ask the mountains

Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
When the night gives in, to tell you why

Tell the mountains
Springs and fountains

Why couldn't this go on?
Couldn't our happiness go on?

Why couldn't this go on?
Couldn't our happiness go on?

    A veryy, VERY SAD song...;( Reminds me of the end of my last relationship. When I realized the relationship could not be saved and I was going to lose my best friend... I know, tragic, isn't it?

    Though the lyrics are a bit sad, I have to say this is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to. Pure magic.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
