ethereal, if only
tricks learnt from the Lizard King
debutant smile while my world was burning
escape the ashes, run to the ends of the Earth
the Ol' Wild West is your home now
      don't ring me, the phone's ripped off the hook
the face of a stranger, a brother, a friend
burned into my eyelids
haunts my dreamscape; no peace, no end
lip gloss kisses, reminiscing
butterflies gathered atop my rose bush
thunder in the distance, dancing in the kitchen
      won't be long now, shouldn't be long now
everything's falling into place
Jesus knows i've lost my way
but He welcomes me into that Lonely Sea
glimmering nostalgic blue
a place and time from long ago
      before the car crash, before the ******
sirens singing, streamers blown by breeze
green keychain, truck just for me
where am i going, where have i been
the moon shines for You and only You
while the stars all play peek-a-boo
casting an otherworldly glow upon Your face
      maybe it's here, maybe this is the place
i've come undone, my seams unraveled
let bygones be bygones, but how can i remain?
when You're near, i'm in the eye of the storm
a deep aching pain soothed only by Your touch
don't be frightened of my gaze, darling, i'm beaming
      Angel Baby with gilded glow
      forever Yours, You're my home
i would watch the world turn by Your side from now until eternity
