lyrics

The frozen lake is the distance between us,
you who were caught so long ago
in the unforgiving ice of age,
and I am waiting on the shoreline.

The poison moonlight distorts your figure,
and the blue ice corrupts my very memory of you.
Your icy rivers are still creaking,
but I cannot speak to you.

I...

CHORUS:
So take me home through the saltwater foam.
Keep the lighthouse fires warm
to guide me through, guide me through the storm.

You are so far from me,
but the idea of you is with me like a smooth pebble.
Maybe it would be rougher but for the mindless waters.

I...

CHORUS x2
