Songtext von The Lily

I left the sign with a candle In the street light that shone there oh Where through the night the people danced In linen and smoke I still remember, the song in my head Each palm in time, every face in that light As their mouths bellowed Now they tell me she's just vanished Some other place by the sea But to me she was banished By herself, not by me No I still remember the streelights of old Now dull in the night And the dancers gone quiet But the sea still bellows See the island on fire And the towers alight And built in silos of sea Underneath every street Lily small covered cities born us And ancient rubble of time stolen Where the walls tremor under the sky Covered day after day by the tide Could I save them if I tried? If only I could We shine our light across the ocean The joy of this city has burned We shine our light across the ocean The fire on ships will return to shine our light We shine our light We shine our light
