lyrics

My hopes are born above the clouds
They are angels of the atmosphere with trumpets to sound
But it's a long way to the ground
They fly around, and don't know where to start
Soon they will grow up, and they will fill up their hearts
And find that waiting for love ain't like waiting for the arc

I fear that by the time they reach you, you see
They will be nothing more than flying space debris
Take cover

Perhaps they'll land in the sea
And take refuge on some driftwood and wait for a naval fleet
But it's all empty as far as the eye can see
They'll live off the fish that swim down below
And remember the sky like it was someone they used to know
As they're slowly being pulled into the undertow

I fear that by the time they reach you, you see
They will be nothing more than a ghost story
Hide under your covers
