Illume

Illume says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window all the way to point dune
Illume, like it dances
I am a cliff dweller from the old school
I like the coastal cities, I like the lights
I like the way the ocean bends into the city at night
It's like living on a working river this coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake In a black sky

I'm alone now with my thoughts
Of how we could make it, of how we could get out
What we've been through? All of the trauma
The smell of nag champra, shadow of a stranger

I will not take you for granted
I wouldn't trade it for jade or for diamonds
Not for one minute, not for anything, I need you to be there
Just remember when I am haunted, that I was just so scared

I'm alone now with my thoughts
How we could make it, how we could get out
What we've been through? All of the trauma
The smell of nag champra, shadow of a stranger

What I saw on this journey, I saw history go down
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away
It's just like a river, ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river it's never ending
It's just like a river it's never ending

I'm alone now with my thoughts
How we could make it, how we could get out
What we've been through? And all of the trauma
The smell of nag champra, shadow of a stranger

What I saw on this journey, I saw history go down
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away
It's just like a river, ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away

Hoo, I'm alone now with my thoughts
How we could make it, how we could get out
What we've been through? All of the trauma
The smell of nag champra, shadows of a stranger

What I saw on this journey, what legends are made of
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away
Just like a river, ooh, it's never ending
No, I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river, it's never ending
It falls away like a river, it's never ending
La la, la la
La la, la la
La la, la la
Ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho
