in the spring we made a boat
out of feathers
out of bones. we set fire to our homes
walking barefoot in the snow. distant rhythm of the drum
as we drifted towards the storm. baby lion lost his teeth
now they're swimming in the sea. troubled spirits on my chest
where they laid to rest. the birds all left
my tall friend
as your body hit the sand. million stars up in the sky
formed a tiger's eye
that looked down on my face
out of time and out of place. so hold on. hold on to what we are. hold on to your heart. la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la
awakened by the sound
of a screaming owl. chasing leaves in the wind
going where we've never been. said goodbye to you
my friend
as the fire spread. all that's left are your bones
that will soon sink like stones. so hold on. hold on to what we are. hold on to your heart. la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la
so hold on. hold on to your heart.
