lyrics

We wait for the waiting
For August to fall
The sad blue-eyed winter
The cold sun to call.

The sky tilting sideways
To move where it will
Though it might appear so
It never is still.

It never is still
It visits us once
And doesn’t come by again.

And you are the witness
To this unique time
As days fold up smaller.
And dressed up in lime

The months meeting in darkness
To plan next years’ show
They might not remember
We might not get old.

We might not get old
But we will have seen
The white-hot sun rising.

We could walk in this heaven
While they plot paradise
You and me could be living
While they talk of life.

The sky is reflected in your hollow eyes
To dream where it comes from, where it dies

But this is the substance
From which days are made
Where time is collected
Where wishes are saved.

Where wishes are saved
And traded with hopes
And filed under dreaming.

We could walk in this heaven
While they plot paradise
You and me could be living
While they talk of life.

You and me could be free.
Life. While they talk of life.
