I can see them now
Kaleidoscopes of tumbling frames
Whispers through the mist
Sweet nostalgia’s childhood games
Clowning in the sand
Turn the tide back hand in hand
First love’s tender rise
As my life flashes before my eyes
Come and lay her down
In the fields of golden brown
Nails across his skin
Fireworks as she’s falling in
Come back from the road
House of echoes, loss and lies
Screaming off her cloud
As her life flashes before her eyes
Sitting by their side
Tubes and wires and subtle breaks
A shadow on the wall
A choice no-one should need to make
Now it’s at the edge
The microscopic demon spreads
She takes her new disguise
As her life flashes before its eyes
