All those villages drowning Linking arms As floodwaters rise Show me a way to get by(×2) 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(×2) 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(×2) 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
