verse 1spring it came upon us,every insect filled the airdropped their wings upon my brother,cast their shadows on his hairif we follow where they're leading,we will surely come beforesome unseen and wondrous magicmade of visions to explorechorusnear the town where we were livingwas an old abandoned farmevery year we'd plant an orchidin the shelter of it's armto protect us from the madnessof the future still to comeit will be like this forever |

I will keep you safe from harmverse 2then they caught us in the summerdressed in fathers finest clothesyou the hat he wore to market |
|
I the jacket filled with holes |
|
I've been searchins all these hoursfor a hand as pale as bonethat would keep the strongest sunlightand reflect the brightest stonechorus 2near the town where we were livingwas a warm and fragrant smellof the orchid we had plantednow a forest tall and wellwhat a statue to our greatnesswhat a story all will tellthey'll remember us foreverthey'll remember where we fellbridgethis old dark machine, it shakes and it shudderspulls to the left, then dies near the gutterbut still in the road, the traffic is silentthe people they stare, and then they turn violentif they should touch, the hem of your dress |
|
I would rise like a lion, strike out againthe faithful they wait, the faithful they waitby the signchorus 3near the town where we were livingcame a loud and joyous soundas the earth and all her beautypicked us up from off the groundcarried far across the mountainto a kingdom never boundwe will live like this forever |

I will love you |

I will love you |

I will love you |
