Every Atom - Lanterns On The Lake

I took your cigarettes to our secret place

I knocked on every door in your estate

I’ve seen the cavalry march for peace

But I haven’t caught a glimpse of you in weeks

If I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you

That’s what I’ll do

I swam around the Lusitania and sang your name

I carved your silhouette with a rusty blade

I caught a cavalier and a king or two

But I couldn’t get a peep out of them on you

But if I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you

That’s what I’ll do

From the blue Olympus Mountain to underneath the carpet

And your mother hit the roof when I dug up all her orchids

But I said I would, and that’s just what I’ll do

That’s what I’ll do

I waited round until the edge of time

I saw comets fly, Andromeda and the Milky Way collide

Because if I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you

If I have to split every atom

That’s what I’ll do

That’s what I’ll do
