Paroles de Scorch

Katie stood on the benches
Waiting for the day to stop chasing her, the fading dark
Standing out in the twilight
Searching in the distant light, looking for her ship

And the night’s so pale, ghost of yesterday
A misty rail gliding the dawn
But soon her ship approaches relentlessly
Is it morning and light?

I’m crying for dawn
Crying for dawn
Is it crying for her?
Crying for her, crying

Katie wonders her memories
Tripping up on visions lost, holding up the final cost
Losing sense of her future
Dissipated in this light, she is needing dawn

And the night’s so pale, ghost of yesterday
A misty rail gliding the dawn
But soon her ship approaches relentlessly
Is it morning and light?

I’m crying for dawn
And the night’s so pale, ghost of yesterday
A misty rail gliding the dawn
But soon her ship approaches relentlessly
Is it morning and light?

I’m crying for dawn
Is it crying for her?
Is it crying for her dawn?
Is it crying?

Katie stood on the benches
Katie stood on the benches
