lyrics

Words will come when they approach the tip of my tongue
Clouds dissolve when they're afflicted by the sun
The sky turns black on the brink of an ice age
Promising a nice day back at home
Birds confused I thought they knew just where to go
In the corner lions tortured by the snow
The sea splits up at the dawn of a cold day
Bringing back the old way to make it home

So tie your shoes
What's left to lose
Have you read the news
We're going home

At a time like this
It's good to have you here
We have both become
Victims of the weather
Now I do insist
You swallow all your fear
And drink the sun because
It won't be here forever

On the days when light is flooding every plane
I grab the big remote to keep it all the same
But the batteries die then time moves onward
Listen to the songbird sing the verse
Life is struggle, tricky puzzles, rainy days
It's only bleak if you are weak enough to say
I can't face hell not even on a good day
I don't think I should stay, I'm a curse

If you and I just had our memories left
Would that be enough
