Antarctica

(album: Ghost Stories - 2015)

Would you just try?
Pull back the veil
From both of your eyes
You're hiding two gems
That give off a light
Reflect the sky
You're guiding the winds
That will see me off

Into a place I've seen
But I have never known
Glacial waters, winter homes

Look towards the sky
It's never been so pale
I don't know why
I'm sailing a sea
Of endless white
A thousand miles high
I'm trying to leave
But can't shake you off

Into a place I've seen
But I have never known
Glacial waters, winter homes
This is the place you brought me
Where we were meant to die
Sons and daughters, skin and bones

Will we both cry?
Having something to share
In both of our eyes?
I'm writing a hymn that gives off a light
Reflects a soul
I'm singing for you at any cost
I'm singing for you at any cost

Into place I've seen
But I have never known
Glacial waters, winter homes
This is the place you brought me
Where we were meant to die
Sons and daughters, skin and bones
