We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills We've tried making movies from a volume of stills The words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet, Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.
A chance to move, I take a shot I get cold - you get hot We look outside, lyin' awake See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.
[Chorus 2] (2:02-)
But don't get me wrong, (yeah) I'll be strong When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, (yeah) I'll be strong When the slow burn sunset come along You've got to stay the night I've got to think that you might.
