Lyrics

Cold and consoling, a fresh piece of art He held you so cruelly, like you were a dart Awake for the journey, longing for flight But he never threw you that night Amazed by the beauty, she took photographs To capture the moment the best way she had So she can remember, go back to the day That place where there's nowhere to stay There was lavender bloom all around As it sickened him slowly, he clung to the sound of sweet Angeline singing like noone was there Then the flutter of wings in the air She walked in the water, cold earth in her hand Then she painted her body with the mark of the land He told her his stories beneath glistening leaves As his words slipped away in the breeze Love in the sunshine, a verse in a cloud Intent on the meaning, they shout it out loud And run 'cross the river, suspended in air And leave like they never were there There was lavender bloom all around As it sickened him slowly, he clung to the sound of sweet Angeline singing like noone was there Then the flutter of wings... A song on a ceiling, words hung on a wall Still the memory changes each time it's recalled But somehow in changing, becomes something new A story impossibly true A story impossibly true
