You were open
A rippling stream
I didn’t know how
Precious that was
When I held you
The universe stopped
I could not believe I’d ever lose you

Can’t see what’s in front of me
I’m lost in this icy storm
If you, if you ever come back to me
My love will keep you warm

You were dreaming
Of glittering unicorns
I didn’t know how
To waken you
You kept tumbling
The rainbow promised you its end
But there’s no pot of gold
And there is no end

Can’t see what’s in front of me
I’m lost in this icy storm
If you, if you ever come back to me
My love will keep you warm

You were open
A rippling stream
Now I know how
Precious that was
In the darkness
I reach out for you
We both have our scars
Beautiful scars

Beautiful light in front of me
Cuts through the icy storm
When you, beloved one, come back to me
My love will keep you warm
