And when I think I've found it
The heavy and heavier gold
Then I reach and I lose it
This is the last time I'll ever be low
I leave home and it's over
The hope seems to always fade
The hope that I'll always find you
I remember when you did not show
We keep pulling the sleighs
Waiting for something to break
Some of them fell away
The wasteland of shipwrecks and burnt hands
The wonder went over my head
Promises made in the dark waves
The poems over radios played
We keep pulling the sleighs
Waiting for something to break
Some of them fell away
Some of us moved away
