In the spring we made a boat
Out of feathers, out of bones
We set fire to our homes,
Walking barefoot in the snow
Distant rhythm of the drum
As we drifted towards the storm
Baby lion lost his teeth,
Now they're swimming in the sea
Troubled spirits on my chest
Where they laid to rest
The birds all left my tall friend,
As your body hit the sand
Million stars up in the sky
Formed a tigers eye
That looked down on my face,
Out of time and out of place
So hold on,
Hold on to what we are,
Hold on to your heart
La la la
La la la
Awaken by the sound
of a screaming owl
Chasing leafs in the wind,
Going where we've never been
Said goodbye to you my friend,
As the fire spread
All that's left are your bones
That will soon sink like stones
So hold on,
Hold on to what we are,
Hold on to your heart
La la la
La la la
So hold on,
Hold on to your heart
