  • Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
    So fire your engine see if I give a damn we'll be dust instantly
    Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
    Use me forever use me as rocket fuel I'll be air I'll be fire

    You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
    You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
    You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
    You say you love me like the past the now the coming years

    What will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye
    Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you'll squeeze between shoeless feet

    I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
    I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
    I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
    I know I love you like the million times I never said

    I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
    I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
    I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
    I know you love me like the past the now the coming years Writer/s: GARY LIGHTBODY, JONATHAN GRAHAM QUINN, NATHAN CONNOLLY, PAUL WILSON, TOM SIMPSON
