I went swimming in the afterglow
Held my breath through the undertow
I've been dreaming of a heart of gold l, I
I've been dreaming mostly on my own
Walked away in the aftermath
I've been thinking how things don't last, I
I've been dreaming of a heart of gold
I've been dreaming mostly on my own
The strong chords come undone
Flesh may fade and strength may run, but
I keep swimming in the afterglow
Now I'm swimming mostly on my own
What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and you drive away
We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on
In the bunker of a heart
The stitches hold or they fall apart, I
I've been dreaming of a heart of gold, I
I've been dreaming mostly on my own
Strong chords come undone
Flesh may fade and strength may run, but
I keep swimming in the afterglow
Now I'm swimming mostly on my own
What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and you drive away
We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on
What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and you drive away
We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on
