I followed your ghost through the old town Passed the gardens like a grave I watched you melt into the buildings As the light began to fade
I didn’t feel the weather changing Or see the faultlines on your face I only saw the danger coming As the earth was giving way
All that gold got buried in the avalanche The landslide took me far away from you And I can’t tell if I ever really knew you well The minute we were born we started disappearing
I hear the crack as fractures widen In a mess of broken parts Flailing like a flock of drunk birds We keep colliding in the dark
All that gold got buried in the avalanche The landslide took me far away from you And I can’t tell if I ever really knew you well The minute we were born we started disappearing
