Every burning house
Every spark i’ve tried
Stomping out
Every new world i’ve
Drowned in its sleep
Certain it wasn’t meant for me
There in your tireless arms
A conjured moon
Whose magic was used up too soon
Where birds
Protect their young
And every new sunrise
Is sung
The lucky don’t only die once
They rise from the minefields
As doves
They fly with their wings
Pouring blood
They fall from the knife’s edge
And crawl for the light switch
Oh true love
My darling
I can’t let go
I’m burning
I can’t let go
Read my sentence there
I will live always
Everywhere
Run with the reels of
Bombers offshore
Embers from dreams of
Firestorms
Radar still sweeps the sea
For what is left
And for what has not happened yet
Throw fortune to the flames
Kiss me and whisper
My name
The lucky don’t only die once
They fall through the fog
Call its bluff
They land when it seems
Real enough
They dare to believe it
Dare to receive it
Oh true love
My darling
I can’t let go
