You're looking at me with questions in mind Are we ready? Is now the right time?
Those lines on my palm won't tell you a thing The signs and the stars Can't say what tomorrow will bring
Would we leave all our doubt and fear for wonder? Hold ourselves upright or go under? If I make us a tape for colder country Will we listen to it when we're older? Maybe
I tried, but I couldn't see the curve That's running round the earth until I saw you
So let's move to the mountains and shove our shack up Sew up our silk and milk our matter Let's leave all this city to blame and bluster And meet in the snow to make our muster
I tried, but I couldn't see the curve That's running round the earth until I saw you
And though the days will turn to nights We'll never see the stars If we stay where we are
We can go where we want, make up rules Be a part of it, stop passing through And we will see this world anew
So let's leave all our doubt and fear for wonder I'll hold you up, we won't go under Let's move to the mountains and shove our shack up Sew up our silk and milk our matter
You know we can always come back one day To see what has changed, who's taken our place Let's leave all this city to blame and bluster And meet in the snow to make our muster
