Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I won't go traveling tonight
I won't go back to the wolves now
There's something singing in the ice
In the deepest part of the world
And the film across my eyes
I'm watching all the waves turn white
[Verse 2]
Took me out on the tide to make pearls of my eyes
And uncover me, oh
Tore every stitch, every line, every hook, every eye
Between him and the diamonds, diamonds!
[Verse 3]
Maybe tonight (I'll give in)
With you holding my arms and my stuttering heart
Is unbound and flayed alive
[Verse 4]
Oh, don't go traveling tonight!
Hold that child in your arms, well
There's no more canaries in the mine
And a cloud, black, over the water
And a voice, low in my ear
Says, "The things that we did here will never die"
