With eyelids heavy as stone
Soon they set in quietly behind the sea
I lay them tenderly back
Water cannot wash away your visage
We go higher when we fall
And we slowly conquer it all
We go wider in the dark
And we face our fallen stars
With heavier eyelids than stone
Any glimpse of southern lights complete out of sight
I ease myself into sleep
Water cannot wash away our sorrows
We go higher when we fall
And we slowly conquer it all
We go wider in the dark
And we face our fallen stars
