lyrics

Goodbye to the sky
You left without a fingerprint on anything
And you glided through the halls
And your feet didn’t touch the ground
And you stopped all the wars in a pretty thick storm
Leaving jingling bells and an empty cup of tea

Thank god for the peace
The world has just become a coin
And with six or seven names
Came the cost of all my ease
And a pretty big hug in a limbless abyss
And a kiss that coulda bought a galaxy
And I guess I’ve been stuck trading living for life
Like an empty bag or a boring suicide

And I
Yes I’m alive again
And I
Yes I’m alive again

You’re not without a flaw
But you’re not without a thwart
But you don’t care for weights
There ain’t no writing on the wall
In this existence where eternity’s gone
And a god can’t live but I hope you live so long
Be a mother to me, to my kids and theirs’s too
Be a teacher for us mortals see us through

And I
Yes I’m alive again
And I
Yes I’m alive again

Goodbye to the sky
You left without a fingerprint on anything
And you glided through the halls
And your feet didn’t touch the ground
And you stopped all the wars in a pretty thick storm
Leaving jingling bells and an empty cup of tea

And a pretty big hug in a limbless abyss
And a kiss that coulda bought a galaxy
And I guess I’ve been stuck trading living for life
Like an empty bag or a boring suicide

And I
Yes I’m alive again
And I
Yes I’m alive again
And I
Yes I’m alive again
And I I I I
And I
Yes I’m alive again

with the gentle & intimate.
