Lyrics

4:16, the train has departed
All I can do is head back to my attic
Observing the sky's shrunken hemisphere
For now I watch her spaceship disappear
I dream of her when laughter has vanished
I dream of her as she flies to her planet
Where I have tried in my way to be free
Does she ever dream about me?

An inexplicable skin
Unfolds where shoulders used to hide away
For you, their next of kin
The stars retreat unrecognised

In winter we met alongside the river
Eclipsed by the sun, wrapped in a shiver
She said, "Won't you stay if I do love thee?"
I wish I could, there's nothing for free
I dream of her when laughter has vanished
I dream of her as she flies to a planet
Where I have tried in my way to be free
Does she ever dream about me?

An inexplicable skin
Unfolds where shoulders used to hide away
For you, their next of kin
The stars retreat unrecognised

Leafs were lying among the lilies
Mary stood crying on her balcony
I caught a glimpse from black tern wings
Our promise remains because and since
I dream of her when laughter has vanished
I dream of her as she flies to a planet
Where I have tried in my way to be free
Does she ever dream about me?

An inexplicable skin
Unfolds where shoulders used to hide sway
For you, their next of kin
The stars retreat unrecognised
An inexplicable skin
Unfolds where shoulders used to hide sway
For you, their next of kin
The stars retreat unrecognised
