So we'll  live well
And speak less
Embrace our lives
And time's caress
I will see you
In the morning light
When your eyes open
Therein my world lies

And we will walk hand-in-hand
Down to the promised land
Our Elysian field
Where we will sleep less
And we will drink away the days
That we never had.

My life has been stormy up until now
But never so badly as your furrowed brow
You speak calm but your hearts beating
Way too fast
I can hear your eyes screaming that
We weren't made to last.

But we will walk slowly
Hand-in-hand
That Elysian field
Promised land
Waits for us because
It takes all we have to feel real

The mourning crowds have
Come and gone
Now we're just sinking
Rotting beneath the mid-day sun
And I will hold your loving hand
As we make our way to the promised land.
