It’s come and gone and left you sad
The story told it wouldn’t last
It leaves you strange inside your skin
Time remains that won’t begin

Only temporarily
Retelling stories constantly
Only moments we can’t hold
Only roads exchanging roads

We can chase it away
Let the dogs out
We can chase it away
Like the dark tide
We can chase it away
Let the sleep awake us

We sit before the flickering
Lets us crawl inside the dream
We’d sing but cannot play the words
We say the story’s for the birds

Like the film you’ve never seen
Bits are fading, emptying
Building up unsteady walls
With sand and bricks and wood and soil

But we can chase it away…

Under a sky we don’t decide
