Öxnadalur Songtext

von Raised By Swans

Take me over your palace walls
My magic word
Drifts high as my chest
My heartbeat melts a line
Of helpless steps

Deep
Winters where the clocks crept
Undersea
And left forgiveness spinning
From a golden reel
Across the field
I drop my shield
And run the last mile home

(i belong with you there
I belong

Ashes in the air)

But always the departures
Plunging elevators with
My new lives inside
All those unkind good-byes

Star of love
Let your snow-streaked hair down
For me again
You are my return through the storm
My tightrope to the light
Above the door

Free
Here i'm in a city
Under siege
And there a lamb she's gathered
In her golden fleece
You rescued me
You rescued me

But what do i do now

What new day
Promises getting closer
All of those days are over
Just come and climb with me
In the sun
