Lyrics

Alive

I dreamed you were alive
And climbing up to dive
Down into the cold grey sea
And all the better days
Were there upon your face
I was seeing it like it used to be

Alive

And climbing up again
With water on our skin
You moved as if to say some word
And instantly I knew
That none of it was true
And all my hope felt so absurd

Alive
Yeah
Alive
Yeah

The fragments of a wing
And one more precious thing
Got trapped beneath a windowpane
And out there in the night
So motionless and quiet
The summer waiting dark and green

Alive
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Alive
Yeah, yeah yeah
Alive
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
