lyrics

A glimmer of light
Cuts through the room
In the back of the run down shack
That's home to my gloom
A spark at night
Enlivens the tomb
In the depths of this ancient debt
That I must exhume

We're gonna roam
Cut us some slack
We're gonna make it home
We're gonna come back
Way too soon

A grain of salt
One for every year
That passes through the glass
That we shed in fear
It ain't our fault
This much is clear
So quit all this squawkin'
Run away with me dear

We're gonna roam
Cut us some slack
We're gonna make it home
Yeah we're gonna come back
Way too soon

The shadow of earth
Slices the moon
Echoes of the sun
The source of our doom
The spectre of life
Smiles like a loon
The same one that fuels our run
Hastens our bloom
A grain of salt
One for every year
That falls through the glass
We shed in tears
but it ain't our fault
That much is clear
So lets quit this squawkin'
Run away with me dear

We're gonna roam
Now cut us some slack
We're gonna make it home
But we're gonna come back
Way too soon
