lyrics

City lights glow dim * In the dark we held on * You tugged on me like the tides * Mist hides the smiles between the true and the fake * But trust is only in our eyes * Yet time flies by like the pelicans glide * We’ve waited around for a long long time * The ocean wells up and it falls on the rocks And seaward whispers escape from our thoughts * Your cheeks were frozen by the icy winds * Lips were cut and raw and broken * Still our eyes shone bright, they gleamed like the sky And as it fell down around us We danced like flames in the night * Glacial melt and rivers cut through canyons of stone * We stood apart on different sides * Led by the sheen of starlight, the moon was our guide * And as the sun rose we were blind * Yet love builds up like this half empty cup * And sitting alone doesn’t help enough * But trust will be worth it all in a while * As months become years through the shifts in the tides * Your cheeks were frozen by the icy winds * Lips were cut and raw and broken * Still our eyes shone bright, they gleamed like the sky * And as it fell down around us we danced like flames in the night * Your cheeks were frozen by the icy winds * Lips were cut and raw and broken * Still our eyes shone bright, gleamed like the sky * And as it fell down around us * And our cheeks were warmed and thawed By the morning sun * Lips were healed by dew drops dripping one by one * Still our eyes shone bright, they gleamed like the sky * And as it fell down around us we rose and fell like the tides * And as it fell down around us we danced like flames in the night
