In the spring we made a boat out of feathers out of bones
We set fire to our homes, walking barefoot in the snow
Distant rhythm of the drum as we drifted towards the storm
Baby lion lost his teeth now they're swimming in the seaTroubled spirits on my chest where they laid to rest
The birds all left my tall friend as your body hit the sand
A million stars up in the sky formed a tigers eye
That looked down on my face, out of time and out of place
So hold on, hold on to what we are, hold on to your heartAwaken by the sound of a screaming owl
Chasing leaves in the wind going where we've never been
Said goodbye to you my friend as the fire spread
All that's left are your bones that will soon sink like stones
So hold on, hold on to what we are, hold on to your heart
