Description
A night-time postcard written in a whisper: eyes like emeralds, hands like the sea, and a desire to hold on tighter than you can. Promises ‘until the last breath’ sound almost theatrical, but instead of pathos, there remains a warm stubbornness - not to let go, even if the forecast is completely grey. Farewells here are not forever, but rather a temporary stop along the way: ‘see you around the corner’ like a ticket with a return address. A little melodramatic, a little sentimental, and not at all shameful - because this belief in a reunion warms better than any blanket.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Eyes of emerald and white, more precious than gold
Hands as soft as the sand but harder to hold
Tonight could be the last time your heartbeat and mine are ever this close
But life can cut like a knife, that's just how it goes
But 'til the day I die
I will dream of you
In a million lives
You're the one I'd choose
I'll love you 'til my last breath
You're gone, but
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
I'll see you around the bend
You're gone, but
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
Sounds of gathering clouds are all that I hear
Just days of permanent grey since you disappeared
But 'til the day I die
I will dream of you
In a million lives
You're the one I'd choose
I'll love you 'til my last breath
You're gone, but
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
I'll see you around the bend
You're gone, but
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
Together again, oh-ooh
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Something in the heavens tells me that we'll be together again
