[Verse 1]
I took the long way home, love
Over the shatter of bone
And cities of campfire ash

[Verse 2]
Stood in the dying light, love
Trying to make my mind up
Couldn't we never go back?

[Bridge]
Time is all we need now
But it doesn't need our spurn
It feeds upon the cautiousness of man

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for a messenger to come
Lead us to the great white surface of the sun tonight

[Chorus]
And the donkey they threw from the bell tower
[And it came?] [with a?] [raft?] from the Black Sea
And shrouded my heart in a Golden Fleece

And I trampled hard coals to a diamond
Left from the deck of a ship in the Dardanelles
To bring you this ring in an oyster shell

[Verse 2]
I had the darkest dream, I
Can't get my conscience clean of
I burned this town to the ground
(Oh, that you didn't)
Resigned myself to wandering around

[Pre-Chorus / Chorus]
