Lovesong for an Apocalypse

In the morning light
Where the seagulls fly
Is where you will find me
With all our yesterdays

When the sea has turned
And the rivers burn
When the sirens ring
Will you wait there for me?

And you know we're never going back
"Can we make it through?" I hear you say
Will we fall in the fight?
Can we keep it alive till it's coming through?

In this waking dream we're stalling
Great divides are falling
By the side
It's your guess or mine

Weak and weary
Can you even hear me?
If there's nothing more to say
And nothing more to do?

And you know we're never going back
"Can we make it through?" I hear you say
And we fall and we fight
And we keep it alive till it's coming through

Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we're holding dear
Don't leave me here alone
In fear, at the end

Fading, fading, I'm fading away
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm watching
We're fading
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm watching, keep fading, keep fading
I'm fading, I'm fading away
Gotta keep, keep it together
Gotta keep, keep it together

Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we're holding dear
Don't leave me here alone

Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we're holding dear
I won't leave you here alone
In fear, at the end
