Lyrics Alaska - Sad Lovers & Giants

Alaska

Well it chewed us up and spat us out
Stumbling into daylight
And we learned what dreams are all about
Let us not pretend
I swallowed everything you said
A constant stream of poison
And the blindest visions filled my head
Rejoicing in the dark
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won’t last
Well I’ve drowned in every shade of blue
Now I know that it’s all over
And there’s nothing I can say or do
To rearrange the past
For one brief moment in that time
We caught a glimpse of freedom
And I will be dissatisfied
Until I’m there again
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won’t last
Step outside you can almost see an Alaskan sunrise
Like a veil it will lift your consciousness over again
There were times when I lost all touch with the world and its sorrows
In the end only doubt and wasted emotion remain
Well it chewed us up and spat us out
Stumbling into daylight
And we learned what dreams are all about
Let us not pretend
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won’t last
