Alaska - Sad Lovers & Giants

Well it chewed us up and spat us out

Stumbling into daylight

And we learned what dreams are all about

Let us not pretend

I swallowed everything you said

A constant stream of poison

And the blindest visions filled my head

Rejoicing in the dark

And when my spirit flies

I still touch the stars

And when my spirit flies

I know it won’t last

Well I’ve drowned in every shade of blue

Now I know that it’s all over

And there’s nothing I can say or do

To rearrange the past

For one brief moment in that time

We caught a glimpse of freedom

And I will be dissatisfied

Until I’m there again

And when my spirit flies

I still touch the stars

And when my spirit flies

I know it won’t last

Step outside you can almost see an Alaskan sunrise

Like a veil it will lift your consciousness over again

There were times when I lost all touch with the world and its sorrows

In the end only doubt and wasted emotion remain

Well it chewed us up and spat us out

Stumbling into daylight

And we learned what dreams are all about

Let us not pretend

And when my spirit flies

I still touch the stars

And when my spirit flies

I know it won’t last
