Clear Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

SEE THE SAND
LYING BY...
...THE OCEAN!

GOLDEN SUN
IN METAL SKY...
...BURNING!
SHIMMERING HEAT LIES HEAVY...
...LIES IN
GRASS BROWN SEARCH
FOR COOLING AIR

DYING, DYING WITH YOU!

HARSHNESS FLEES,
COLOURS FADE,
NIGHT FALLS!
QUIET WINDS




SEARCH SILVER SANDS...
...WANDERING!
