When the sun runs out
And there's no one to save you

When the sun runs out
When everything has come to an end


And there's no one to save you
When you're helpless and alone


Will you go to our favorite place
Will you try to hold onto the memory of something special


And try to say goodbye
And try to accept that it's really over

At the very end, when everything is over

When the familiar starts to fall apart


And the tide goes out of control
And everything becomes chaotic

When I married my husband there was a part in my vows that said "I'll keep you in our shed if you ever turn into a zombie." & our first dance was to "The Way I Am". So I absolutely adore this song and the fact Ingrid wrote this after watching way too many Zombie movies.

A strikingly beautiful woman...An amazingly beautiful musician, poet, and storyteller. I have all her albums, and Ingrid is as completely stunning as her music in every sense.
