Paradise - Wye Oak

Even as I stand

Is the ever after

See it as it lands

Fire over water

Paradise and I

We will carry on now as friends

We will go to sleep

We will see it come down again

Pulled into a coil

Watch my hands unfold it

Should it fall apart

Shaking as I hold it

Should I go to work

Measuring the absence again

Paradise and I

We will carry on now as friends

See through the daze of the winter

We are aware of each other

Facing a permanent danger

How many more will we weather

How

Both of us believe

Both of us pretending

We should ever see

Such a perfect ending

We will go to sleep

We will see it come down again

This is our disease

Helpless as we share it

Even when it dies

I will help you bear it

Fall into the leaves

Feel the season greet us again

Paradise and I

We will carry on now as friends
