Hover

Fly away, fly away to the warmth of the Summerlands Bid farewell to this deep well of night and its brutal plans Travel safe, travel safe in the arms of the whispering wind Lay your pain in the bed of the earth with your little sins Come and stay, come and stay by my side when the cold moves in Nights are long, nights are long and my mind's prone to wandering With you gone so long I've been clenched up and reticent But you're fixed in my mind, and the memory's good kindling Hover here a while in the space in between Let me keep your smile, time can be so damn mean Memory is cruel, but it keeps you with me Living on's like fuel, keeps the past burning clean Crying out, crying out to a god who stays silent Placing roses on polished reminders in granite Clasping hands around dining room tables for knocks in the dark Squinting our eyes to see life after death leave a mark Hover here a while in the space in between Let me keep your smile, time can be so damn mean Memory is cruel, but it keeps you with me Living on's like fuel, keeps the past burning clean Maybe all of my time here on Earth's just a drop in the sea But I'd give all of the gold that I have to know you're still with me Maybe all of things are just tales to sleep better at night But remembering seems to be what keeps us all alive Hover here a while in the space in between Let me keep your smile, time can be so damn mean Memory is cruel, but it keeps you with me Living on's like fuel, keeps the past burning clean Memory is cruel, but it keeps you with me Living on's like fuel, keeps the past burning clean
