Ember Days lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fire it still glows, the ember holding on, the wilting rose
Desire in repose waking from its lullaby
Breathe the salty air, the wind moving along from here to there
Soon it's everywhere whistling through a mountainside

[Chorus]
Where is the moon for us
Those who dwell in these caves in a factory gaze?
When is it June for us
Those whose permanent place is a dark alley way?

[Verse 2]
Past the frozen scene the ocean angels hide, remain unseen
Take refuge in between ripples in the waterline
Feed the hungry birds, their circling turning slowly into words
Every movement heard shining like a marquee sign

[Chorus]
But where is the moon for us
Those who dwell in these caves in a factory gaze?
When is it June for us
Those whose permanent place is a dark alley way?

[Bridge]
[Vocalizations]
[Chorus]
Where is the moon for us
Those who dwell in these caves in a factory gaze?
When is it soon for us
Those expected to wait a whole lifetime to play?
When is it June for us
Those whose permanent place is a dark alley way?
