Even as I stand Is the ever after See it as it lands Fire over water Paradise and I We will carry on now as friends We will go to sleep We will see it come down again Pulled into a coil Watch my hands unfold it Should it fall apart Shaking as I hold it Should I go to work Measuring the absence again Paradise and I We will carry on now as friends See through the daze of the winter We are aware of each other Facing a permanent danger How many more will we weather? How... Both of us believe Both of us pretending We should ever see Such a perfect ending We will go to sleep We will see it come down again This is our disease Helpless as we share it Even when it dies I will help you bear it Fall into the leaves Feel the season meet us again Paradise and I We will carry on now as friends
