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
