Hope
[Verse 1:]
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense that I'm
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow

[Chorus:]
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

[Verse 2:]
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought I felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in
[Chorus]
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

[Verse 3]
As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again

[Bridge:]
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave

[Verse 4]
As I think of you
From this dark century
It will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing
