In a silent way
Things began changing
Rockaway
The dry heat of summer
And I wish you'd stay. I could watch you get older
On holidays through checkpoints and borders
We'd forget every question of why and for whom?
Life could be better and love could be true
In the modern age
I'm young but I want to know
What's the way?
To our families and cozy homes
On Charlemagne, we could throw all the curtains wide open and laugh like we did at eighteen cos I'm Finding a new lease on life, light as a feather floating off into the night
And just when I thought that my world was ending
The sky opened up and my body held still
Laid on my back in the natural light
Singing I don't want to die, not tonight, not tonight
