Smoke Fairies We Had Lost Our Minds
Do you remember the year when we
Walked through snow to search for christmas?
You kept saying that the lights would be
Round the corner soon
Out into the half light of winter gloom
Trees seemed scared by their own branches
All the living things in the forest knew
We had lost our minds
Oh - you're colder than you know
So let me be your light for the way home
Do you remember the things we saw?
As the path grew slowly smaller
All overgrown with the angry thorns
That tried to pierce our skin
Then out of nowhere the ocean rose
Up before us vast and restless
Suddenly we knew that we had to go
We had to cross the sea
Oh - you're colder than you know
So let me be your light for the way home
I saw the lights come on
From miles away they shone
But they were the lights from home
Shining back across the sea.
