I wipe your impression from this chair you sat on
Erasing the traces now you’re gone
I’m pouring myself into the glass that you drank from
And watch while the tide rushes ‘round these rocks I’ve crashed on
When you light my house I cannot breathe
As you pull me underneath your sea
Will you steer the lifeboats far from me
To be sure I go down breathlessly
I’m staying awake to observe the moment of my sinking
But it’s hard to hang on while it keeps getting colder
The moment has gone for understanding what you’re thinking
And now I just wait for your hands to press down on my shoulders
When you light my house I cannot breathe
As you pull me underneath your sea
Will you steer the lifeboats far from me
To be sure I go down breathlessly
(Middle)
The tide is turning again
And I’m remembering when
You lit me up like a beacon
In the night, until then
The sailors cover their heads
The clever take to their beds
The living envy the dead
When you light your light
(Chorus)
