lyrics

Waves of Luciferin
On Our last night out
Everyone glowing
Pacific Ocean at midnight
I can still remember your name
But I can‘t quite remember the sound
Of your voice when you loved me

Agitated Sagittarius
Your Aries arises and wonders
Where are you now?
Chewing on ice cubes at the cocktail party?
You used to say
Fire is older than water
Fire walks with me
And I miss the sound
Of your voice when you loved me

I peel a tangerine
Pondering
How is your life?
Pictures of your kids at the office?
Gamblers are still playing
It’s all about the last card
Gamblers are still dreaming
What about your voice when you loved me?

Don’t worry baby
I won’t come and haunt you
I’ll be a reed sighing
I’ll be the wind
That blows away your troubles
Transient, ancient, a grain of sand
In your hand
Soft and golden
Just like your voice
When you loved me
