On the railway bridge
We watch the shimmering lights
The beach is full of souls
Trying to take flight
We can see their reflections
On the full moon glassy sea
Not a wave is crashing
Just a gentle autumn breeze
There’s a flash of silver a lash of skin
The fire and the heat
Now you take shelter
As your eyes retreat
I love you in this moment
Then you’re lost to me
I’ll join you if I can
It’s the least a man could do
I’m watching you find comfort
I am your protector
I am your protector
When morning light arrives
The souls have the sound
The colors have all faded
The cold bites your hands
I look for your attention
You’ve fallen for the ether
Like driftwood on an endless ocean
Never finding safest land
We’re all trying to escape in our own way
Sometimes we will make your loss is my mistake
