Album: The Age Of Miracles (2010)

  • Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs
    Standing on the precipice
    I leaned to see just where the edge would take me
    The wind came up, I closed my eyes
    I heard a shout and to my surprise
    A hand reached out and pulled me back to safety

    What's a hand, what's a dream
    Who can say what it means
    When everything that you know
    Can disappear
    Don't look back, the spirits cry
    Just be glad to be alive
    Everything that you love is right here
    Everything that you love:

    Life feels smaller than this stone
    Worn smooth inside my palm
    I keep it like a charm inside my pocket
    I keep thinking I'll flame out
    Leave no one with a doubt
    That I was meant to fire like a rocket

    What's a stone, what's a flame
    There's always someone else to blame
    When everything that you know disappears
    Don't look back the spirits cry
    Just be glad to be alive
    Everything that you need is right here
    Everything that you need:.

    When I'm left here on the shore
    The ancient basalt moor
    Will beckon me to sleep among its heather
    Who's not tempted to fold in
    So that sleep may come again
    Where the fire and the ice hide their treasure

    Everything that you love
    Everything that you need Writer/s: MARY CARPENTER
