lyrics

We
we shall not fear
and I’ll resolve to save you vanished,
huddled here,

you
you guard this love
so take these ashes
store them safely up above
up above

Fade
the skies we’ve seen
until this resolution breaks
and I’ll come clean,

find
in days of new
there is a quiet
world that
we can wade into
into

Now and for the first time
I’ll resolve to never take this love
for granted any longer
and I know
that when the lights fade low
then we’ll clear the windows
lock the doors in
isolation
find our resolution

From dusk til dawn
I’ll watch the water wear the stones
and then be gone,

sleep
the finest blue
and I’ll wait quietly
and cradle this
for you

Mourn
the little loves
I can’t do anything
but try to get enough,

give
repeat these days
under the roof high sun
I’ll meet you in the haze

Now and for the last time
I’ll resolve to never take this love
for granted any longer
and I know
that when the lights fade low
then we’ll clear the windows
lock the doors in isolation
find our resolution.
