Phil Gawen - Opal Dreams Lyrics

The day when we first met with our eyes
We made a fire and burnt are disguises
When the warm front left me behind
You had to fly

With a shovel and pick and a one hand stick
These opal mines are burning
All the sweat I've dropped
Left me puddles of mud
And I can't see my life turning
In the long run, I can see my doubts
Get the best of me

I am here, you are there
The words I have written to you can't compare
Can't describe, the bare shell my heart is in

Do we ever forget who we are?
It seems we haven't made it too far, no
We'll be wrapped up in our coup d'etat
Of a world that's just another star

Nowhere is home, but in your heart
And your heart
Does it race the clock
When it hears my name?
Cause when I read yours it does the same

And though I am lone here
I still have my senses
I treat them with kid gloves
Protecting my white dove
I keep on pretending there's more love
Than meaning in life

I see my home fire burning
I see the ship, I see my girl
It keeps my heart from turning
Never give up, never give up, never
