A hug of hair in black and white
Upon the river, perched in setting light
Staircase to the glassy water’s edge
You toss and turn
You’re dancing for nobody and for everyone
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
Stuck below and inside
Sinking first, to get alive
Beam of the moon at night
Bleached strands tussled in the warm wind bright
You sing so proud upon the hill
Before the cold renders a damning chill
Milky ghosts forge the obscuring glow
Folding heart, take it slow
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
I’m stuck below and inside
I’m sinking first, to get alive
I’m flying over the tides
I’m hiding all my other lies
On the plains above and outside
And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
Do do do do-do
I’m rolling under the tides
Searching for the other lives
I’m stuck below and inside
Sinking first, to get alive
I’m flying over the tides
I’m hiding all my other lies
On the plains above and outside
And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive
