Things are much warmer down here
Dark blue and dim, just like a film
I might have been someone else
So far away from my home
The memories are thick, we never learn
The book of our lives is very short
The traces we drew and left behind
Have all been filled by the sands of time
Half remembered dreams
Far down the stream
Gaze at the ocean at night
The stars are never quite as bright
The feel of tiles on my feet
Colder each day and bittersweet
My heart has turned to stone
There’s a chill deep in my bones
Hold on, hold on
My love, hold on
It speeds up the closer you get
Then you wake up in a cold sweat
