Adalita

(Album: Embrace - 2013)

We walked along the city dawn
The rules were spelled in chalk on the board
We run, run, run, and we got nowhere for too long, too long
We banged the drums and we got stung but not sunk, for no return

Oh Adalita, can you see the heart that you hold?
Oh Adalita, can you be a dream to come true?
Oh Adalita, you could be the flame in the cold
Oh Adalita, can you see what I have been told?

I still can't trust
The vow for our kingdom come
We spend our days off it, from the pond
We had one another and a youth for cover, but there's a scar
They promised gold and we got lost and sold, but we're still here

Oh Adalita, can you see the heart that you hold?
Oh Adalita, can you be a dream to come true?
Oh Adalita, you could be the flame in the cold
Oh Adalita, can you see what I have been told?

I still can't trust
I still can't trust us
I still can't trust
I still can't trust
