I watch the waves from the mountain tops
And the rock slides through the clouds
'Cause this whole world is gonna shake someday
And I'll be somewhere looking down
I'll miss the coast and the cool night air
And the fire in our eyes
That world of shadows and twirling hair as the fire died
'Cause you alone steal every heart
And you alone shall be
Just a world I never knew
And the only one I see
Some toast the night as each day begins
Wearing shadows in between
But I close my eyes until once again I can dream
Of little birds catching fireflies
Until the darkness pulls them down
And little worlds hung on fire lit ice
Crying come a little closer now
'Cause you alone steal every heart
And you alone shall be
Just a world I never knew
And the only one I see
Said I watch the waves from the mountain tops
And the rock slides through the clouds
'Cause this whole world is gonna shake someday
And I'll be somewhere looking down
