The ground was wet and dark
And sky like liquid sugar
In my mouth a taste of cardamom and coffee
We walked at the edge of field
When we went to watch a solar eclipse
Early in the morning
when mouth is dry and skin steams
chorus
And then I pressed myself against you
just like the moon swims into an embrace of the sun
And you whispered:
"We will save the world one day"
And if I know nothing else, I know that
at that moment I loved
When the day was young and beautifully crazy
A wind caressed young grain
So fragile and light green
We were standing silent
I barely dared to breathe
We heard from some radio
Some details about the moon
and the weather of early morning
chorus
And when the darkness came, it came fast
Birds screamed at the sky
I almost started to cry
Is this what happened after all
We talked
What if we stay in the dark
Shivering in this moment
As fossils of this chilling world
Staring upwards
chorus
