Counting the seconds left in my fortune
Sparing a few waiting for the dew
How many more wasted on this tune ?
In the ante-room waiting for my cue
The winds are wailing memories long-gone
The tides are washing hearts made of stone
I pray for someone to have a prayer left
Of faith we're all bereft
Give me this fire deep in the night
To make everything feel right
Changing my world, making it twirl
Risking another bet before we all forget
Painting shadows to keep ourselves warm
It ain't easy to separate from the swarm
The flight is long and hearts beat steady
Will there be another sun to see?
Claiming lives on the billboard of chance
Inventing skies for the moons to dance upon
Put your wings in mine now
One life is all we allow
Give me this fire deep in the night
To make everything feel right
Changing my world, making it twirl
Risking another bet before we all forget
