Illume says the candle that I burn

A reflection in the window

All the way to point dune

Illume-like it dances

I am a cliff dweller

From the old school

I like the coastal cities

I like the lights...

I like the way the ocean blends

Into the city at night

Like living on a working river

This coastline is glittering

Like a diamond snake

In a black sky

I'm alone now

With my thoughts

Of how we could make it

Of how we could get out

What we've been through

All of the trauma

The smell of nag champra

Shadow of a stranger

I will not take you for granted

I wouldn't trade you for jade

Or for diamonds

Not for one minute

Not for anything

I need you to be there

Just remember when I am haunted

That I was just so scared

I'm alone now

With my thoughts

Of how we could make it

Of how we could get out

What we've been through

All of the trauma

The smell of nag champra

Shadows of a stranger

What I saw on this journey

I saw history go down

I cannot pretend

That the heartache falls away

It's just like a river

Ooh, it's never ending

I cannot pretend

That the heartache falls away

Because it's just like a river

It's never ending

It's just like a river

It's never ending

I'm alone now

With my thoughts

Of how we could make it

How we could get out

What we've been through

And all of the trauma

The smell of nag champra

Shadow of a stranger

(What I saw on this journey... I saw history go down)

(I cannot pretend...that the heartache falls away)

(It's just like a river...ooh, it's never ending)

(I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away)

I'm alone now

With my thoughts

How we could make it

Of how we could get out

What we've been through

All of the trauma

The smell of nag champra

Shadows of the strangers

What I saw on this journey, what legends are made of

I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away

Just like a river, ooh, it's never ending

No, I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away

Because it's just like a river, it's never ending

Falls away...like a river, it's never ending...

La la la la... la la la la...

La la la la... la la la la...
