Out Of Light

I'm walking through cloudless air
On a promise to be back home
Following the river
Winding its way to the cottage door
What's today for the sake of yesterday
And where will that leave tomorrow
With no promise of home?
But there's more to life than what I've seen
But there's still life left in the day we go
Life and what you've seen is your salvation
The start of winter always feels the same
(I know that you are known)
So tradition bound
And when you came into this town
(I know that you are known)
You had a key to every door except your own
(I know that you are known)
Like a diamond that's lost its shine
We're just dust passing through time
And it's only half of what I've seen
And there's still life left in the day we go
Life and what you've seen is your salvation
Out of the light in a secret life
Our blood runs dry
You were haunted by that night
And blew smoke into the sky as our grave
It washed up in the tide
But in our mystery we've said our goodbyes
