Bilingual
all those villages drowning
linking arms
as floodwaters rise
show me a way to get by
i need a way to get by
time is hung in a darkroom
your aching smile
high on a wire
show me a real good-bye
i need a real good-bye
one that won't change its mind
swinging for the fences
for separate sky
i once found love
but lost it all because
the landslide swallowed both of us
as starving love does
after all that we've been through
to think i thought
i knew
we reach out into night
and hope our aim is true
guardian of the silver mine
promised you i'd throw you a line
show me you've stayed alive
show me you're still alive
that love got to you in time
the glacier advances
the battery dies
we're collapsing worlds
we're shells protecting pearls
caught between what could have been
and all that we were
after all that we've been through
i know that we
can do this
we reach out into night
and hope our aim is true
