lyrics

They walked first with fate intact,
an upstairs room a world unpacked,
a river blind, a tower to play,
they walked first into the day

a chill of fear a morning gleam
a private tear a chaotic dream

they walked again
round that water cold
years and years to go

They walked then with the warning raids
the crimson prisons and the hearts delayed
the New York dusks in them burning days
a passageway to what they'd made

a bit of impulse bit of pain
a sealed little city and a letter lain

they walked again
round that water cold
years and years to go

They walked late and they fed the fire
gaze to constellations tired
in two sheets shined in the last
a vague old memory a battle past

a harmony a wizard wild
a calmness still a window child

they walked again
round that water cold
years and years to go
years and years to go
years and years to go.
