The Whales

A match sparks fire
On an icy plain
Stuck underwater
Looking at the flame

Racing to rescue my love
With four dogs in flight
We'll run across the ocean
To catch the morning light

And I've gone back
And I've gone back to where I started from

I am alright with her
This life isn't what she'd prefer
If I could I'd set her free
With all the whales and me

If the flame burns all night
It'll melt the snow
Then you'll fall into me
Then off we'll go

Farther than Alaska
Farther than Japan
A new life together
Without a plan

And I've gone back
And I've gone back to where I started from

I am alright with her
This life isn't what she'd prefer
If I could I'd set her free
With all the whales and me
