The sound slowly fades and trickles away from the scene
It's only the windows of life
They hear my dreams
Walking the distance, I feel like I've been running for miles
Happy times don't last long
I finally got there and it's too late to smile
Chorus:
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
Carry me away, under the water, over the line
