lyrics

We’re still clawing over mountain ranges
reaching peaks to cross valleys
so we can be the children climbing trees while the other kids,
they collapse in the streets.

The sun and the moon, they hang parallel, never to cross paths.
But, they’ll exchange smiles and eye contact, just like you and I.

La la la, La la la.

Now I’m drinking tea in the place we sang our hearts out
every sunday for the last few weeks.
Etching memoirs of friendships & revelations into these walls

Where they live on, long after where gone,

La la la, La la la.

A woman falls down at an altar, in all of her beauty and grace she prays
“Please lift this suffering and pain from my lover, I can’t bare his weight.”
And, I still have the wooden beads she hung round my neck
as we mapped them in the stars,
so we would never forget our love.
We’ll be reminded by the constellations.

La la la, La la la.

Now we lay in empty open fields like the one
where all of this began.
Remembering our lives gone past, childhood,
Can you see it in the night sky?

Where they live on, long after where gone,

La la la, La la la.
