Every Atom Lyrics

Lanterns On The Lake Every Atom

I took your cigarettes to our secret place
I knocked on every door in your estate
I've seen the cavalry march for peace
But I haven't caught a glimpse of you in weeks

If I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you
That's what I'll do

I swam around the Lusitania and sang your name
I carved your silhouette with a rusty blade
I caught a cavalier and a king or two
But I couldn't get a peep out of them on you

But if I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you
That's what I'll do

From the blue Olympus Mountain to underneath the carpet
And your mother hit the roof when I dug up all her orchids
But I said I would, and that's just what I'll do
That's what I'll do

I waited round until the edge of time
I saw comets fly, Andromeda and the Milky Way collide

Because if I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you
If I have to split every atom
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do
