Ephemera

I was weary
And you took me in your arms
In your arms

I couldn't see you
But you held me like the light
Held the dark
Strangers
Terror on the verge of joy
Ephemera ephemera

Dreamers
First we're here and then we're gone
Ephemera ephemera

We go
The way we come
I was screaming
Like a baby to the void
To the void

I couldn't hear you
But you held me like the silence
Held the noise

Strange strangers
Does the black cat got your tongue?
Ephemera ephemera

Dream dreamers
Turning nothing into one
Ephemera ephemera

We go
The way we come
The pavement
Rippled like water
When she walked
In sandals of light
The words felt
Strange in my mouth
Falling out
Like teeth in a dream
I was dreaming
Til you shook me by the arm
By the arm
Now i see you
And i know we're sleeping
And we've never come to harm
Strangers
See how we shimmer in the sun
Ephemera ephemera
Dreamers
Like angels sleeping on the lawn
Ephemera ephemera
Strange strangers
Turning nothing into one
Ephemera ephemera

Dream dreamers
First we're here and then we're gone
Ephemera, ephemera
We go
The way we come
