Illume

Illume says the candle that I burn A reflection in the window All the way to Point Dune Illume-like it dances I am a cliff dweller From the old school I like the coastal cities I like the lights... I like the way the ocean blends Into the city at night Like living on a working river This coastline is glittering Like a diamond snake In a black sky I'm alone now With my thoughts Of how we could make it Of how we could get out What we've been through All of the trauma The smell of Nag Champra Shadow of a stranger I will not take you for granted I wouldn't trade you for jade Or for diamonds Not for one minute Not for anything I need you to be there Just remember when I am haunted That I was just so scared I'm alone now With my thoughts Of how we could make it Of how we could get out What we've been through All of the trauma The smell of Nag Champra Shadows of a stranger What I saw on this journey I saw history go down I cannot pretend That the heartache falls away It's just like a river Ooh, it's never ending I cannot pretend That the heartache falls away Because it's just like a river It's never ending It's just like a river It's never ending I'm alone now With my thoughts Of how we could make it How we could get out What we've been through And all of the trauma The smell of Nag Champra Shadow of a stranger (What I saw on this journey... I saw history go down) (I cannot pretend...that the heartache falls away) (It's just like a river...ooh, it's never ending) (I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away) I'm alone now With my thoughts How we could make it Of how we could get out What we've been through All of the trauma The smell of Nag Champra Shadows of the strangers What I saw on this journey, what legends are made of I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away Just like a river, ooh, it's never ending No, I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away Because it's just like a river, it's never ending Falls away...like a river, it's never ending... La la la la... la la la la... La la la la... la la la la...
