lyrics

Ice bends light in the windowsill
And ice keeps the cold inside my bed
We stay so still while the world stops spinning
And snow keeps a pillow for my fading head

And I drank a sleep both dark and deep …

I dreamt a wild kaleidoscope dream
Where we danced in light ten thousand shades spreading
And you and I, we did not try, we knew each part instinctively
For we were at home and we knew no walls
And we could sing always spontaneously
And we would step always flawlessly
And carousels of broken shells
Would every day be stitched together
But most of all, in every room and mirror and window
Reaching and filling in everywhere
He was there, and he had a name for me
And he was so proud to say it over and over and over again

Snow, come and clean a shattered soul
Cover the soil and freeze the lakes
Until the dream one day turns true
And follows me out when I awake
