lyrics

Time slows
Who knows where we go from here?
How to see it clear

Moons and suns
The ink runs on the title page
I’ll go, I’ll stay

I’m alone out on the ocean, I am floating on the foam
I’m looking for a memory, I used to call it home
The storm is getting closer and I’m trying not to mind
But when it comes please don’t leave me behind

Light and shade
The Queen of Spades will make me new
Will see me through

And who behind a face I can’t recall
The one to tell the meaning of it all
It’s coming time to fantasize the fortune and the fall
To try again and fail and still stand tall

I am running into problems, I am running out of time
I am running towards a quiet place that I can’t seem to find
I’m coming through the thicket and the thorns that rake my skin
But when I knock I know you’ll let me in

For all this time there’s only one and one alone
To bring to mind the sweetest thing I’ve ever known

And it’s you
You get me through
You build me from the rubble and you turn the sky to blue
It’s you
