Lyrics

Clay

[Verse 1]

Words sail

Out into the wind

Their meaning

Taken by time

[Pre-Chorus]

Your deep seeing eyes

Ancient stars

[Chorus]

We wanted only to love

How will I find you again?

Fate or chance

[Verse 2]

A beauty

In uncertainty

We fought them

On great white sand

[Pre-Chorus]

Our shadows reframed

Memories

[Chorus]

We want only to live

Only to love and breathe again

Your white waves in the night

Longing I'm lost

In dreams of mine

[Bridge]

Blue billowing green waves of grass

The iron sky

Turning in the looking glass

[Pre-Chorus]

Your deep seeing eyes

Ancient stars

[Chorus]

You are wonderful light

My only love

Sleep well

Good night
