Iceland |
| Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs |
| Standing on the precipice |
| I leaned to see just where the edge would take me |
| The wind came up, I closed my eyes |
| I heard a shout and to my surprise |
| A hand reached out and pulled me back to safety |
| What’s a hand, what’s a dream |
| Who can say what it means |
| When everything that you know |
| Can disappear |
| Don’t look back, the spirits cry |
| Just be glad to be alive |
| Everything that you love is right here |
| Everything that you love: |
| Life feels smaller than this stone |
| Worn smooth inside my palm |
| I keep it like a charm inside my pocket |
| I keep thinking I’ll flame out |
| Leave no one with a doubt |
| That I was meant to fire like a rocket |
| What’s a stone, what’s a flame |
| There’s always someone else to blame |
| When everything that you know disappears |
| Don’t look back the spirits cry |
| Just be glad to be alive |
| Everything that you need is right here |
| Everything that you need: |
| When I’m left here on the shore |
| The ancient basalt moor |
| Will beckon me to sleep among its heather |
| Who’s not tempted to fold in |
| So that sleep may come again |
| Where the fire and the ice hide their treasure |
| Everything that you love |
| Everything that you need |
