lyrics

the wind swept in, and with it the winter
rolling over the mountains
the great expanses of desert
that rise up from the pacific
the boxed up house that i live in
sits on the cusp of the city
the endless buzz of the freeway
moves a river of metal in the valley below me

still inexplicably tied to you
still inextricably tied to you

the road ahead is all long shadows,
tangled light and glittering frost
sparkling on the tarmac
so keep driving, keep driving
i dreamed i cracked your silence
underneath some gold streaked sky
and stars rained all around us
so come find me, come find me

warm copper earth and carpets of heather
this crinkled coast's carved in silver
and shaded jade, oh saltwater
dive in to pure liquid colour
night sky was perfumed and heavy
my skin wild jasmine and shivering
low evening sunbeams poured lazy
intricate patterns on the forest floor

contort like glass,
i'll scatter maps with your compass
around my neck, still points to us
your words are whispered and cautious
pen sacred stories, as your
light collects like dust on the windows
and cuts through me at strange angles
was it faith or faith that finally brought you here?
told you years ago, one day i'd disappear

i think we might be the adventure that never comes to an end.
