Atmosphere

It is me, it is me my dear
With my coat and a dream so clear
And the side of my face like a golden rocket
Burning in the atmosphere
Can you see me from down here

Time like a diver fights
For the surface when it's time to die
And the pearls from his pocket falling down like snowflakes
Catch them on your tongue this year
In your heat they're gonna disappear

I'm giving up my life of prayer
I'm gonna throw your ashes in the air
And I'm watching while the wind blows back and forth
But it's gonna let you down somewhere
It doesn't matter how much we care

The frozen flower
Will never open again
When the cold winds howl
You have but seconds to live

Cover me in night so black
That I could never find my way back
To the stream in the woods where the footprints drown in
Rain coming down like tears
Drinking up all those years

The frozen flower
Will never open again
When the cold winds howl
You have but seconds to live
