Aurelia

My love runs deep, like the gutter

It tugs, it weeps, oh the wonder

Save a bite, for the last one

Crowned and tongue-tied like the mad man

See the ants crawl by the window

Wait

What if they feel the same

One dies another takes it's place

Filled with the hope of tomorrow

I go to read by the Ijssel

It calls to me, Aurelia

Fill my eyes for the last time

Bound, glued and dried on the way down

See the ants crawl over my fingers

Wait

What if they feel the same

One dies another takes it's place

Filled with the hope of tomorrow

Give me peace now

I'm asleep now, no more waiting

By the jetty, oh the beauty, not enough for

Are our heroes the ones who die or ones who hold fast

Falling slowly, turning slowly, eyes grow heavy

Feel the ants crawl up my neck

Wait

What if we're all the same

I die another takes my place

Tell them the stories

of tomorrow

Tell them the stories

of the ones who lived

Tell the stories

of the hopeful
