lyrics

We built an island in the sky
Between two lanes of candy cane traffic
Always laughed at passerbys saying
They were only jealous

That we have found
The golden fields
You felt so warm
Under my skin

Penny for your thoughts you say
A price you’re never willing to pay
My heart is poisoned with suspicion
You’re a walking contradiction, babe

But you run so smooth
Down my throat
Wish I could love you
Without turning to stone

Darling I can take no more
You took my heart with you
Out that door

So I’m left here waiting, wishing
Maybe someday you’ll be different
What for?

You have found a fold
In my bones
I can’t love you
Without turning to stone

Now I have to keep my distance
Our island in the sky falls to Earth
Holding on to all the pieces
Trading pain for what it’s worth

How can I say goodbye?
How can I say goodbye?
