Cleaning off the dust Drinking from the fountain Toiling in the blood Every dawn's a mountain And I'm climbing them without you All roads ahead And I still hope to find you If ever they get me home
Where we used to walk The pavement turned to meadow My eyes still wanna fall On you, shining in the soft glow Now I'm crashing into concrete Reaching up high I'm trying to remember The color of the sky back home
I'm holding on, I'm holding up I'm holding on, I'm holding up
Steam flows from the cup She's making sure I'm warmer And though I'm warming up I can't shake the shiver I can spend the night beside her Tracing your heat Makes me coffee in the morning But she doesn't feel like home
There's so much to see So much to see So much ahead of me
Cleaning off the dust Breaking every mirror All I've known to love Isn't getting nearer And I'm older than my mother When she gave me the day And I might be going nowhere But I can't lift the veil alone
