lyrics

Same old winter morning on this runaway train
A blind busker sings wild answers how to land this runaway game
He’s breathing blind love songs from down down down deep
Feeding the cold hungry coals
Keeping the tired embers from falling asleep

How to land this runaway train
Is anyone’s story it’s anyone’s game
Again and again everything’s up for grabs…..it’s all the rage
Will it ever calm down down down deep
Realizing that which can not be owned
Remembering where all sparks meet

Everywhere off the radar
Are brave flickers all alone
Fellow flares of all shapes and sizes and colours
All alone but reaching together
Reaching down down down deep
Choosing a long long love
Even absorbing greedy infernos
That are dying from an angry sleep

Come on all you sparklers
You twinklers and fellow flares
Keep looking up to each other
Keep breathing blind love songs
Keep feeding back down down down deep
Feeding the cold hungry coals
Keeping the longest burning source
From falling
Dying of sleep

Same as a flame
Keep the long hunger reaching
A fetching laughter
An unsung glimmer
Where all sparks meet
Down down deep
Somewhere inside
A star shined sky
