Otherworldly Children

We'll build a woundrous fort of mystery

Where thundergods will let us keep our dreams forever

(no matter where we are)

Bury the keys to our hearts in the mountains

Shy away from ticking clocks

To save our kindred hearts

(no matter where we are)

Oh my little bird

Only we know this world

And all the creatures in our heads

Conversations with the dead

Oh my little doe

How could we ever grow old

When sleeping wolves are at our sides

And floating amber fills the sky

I'll send you letters with the birds

And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

I'll send you secrets in the wind

May our benevolence never end, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

Can we howl at the moon forever

And bury our pictures in the woods

Could we bind our souls together

And hunt for pearls where no man should

We'll build a silken ship of feathers

And sail it to the dying stars

To sing farewell to them all

Give all our treasures to the monsters

Cover them in shining jewels

Make them feel beautiful too

I'll send you letters with the birds

And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

I'll send you secrets in the wind

May our benevolence never end, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

Oh my little bird

Only we know this world

And all the creatures in our heads

Conversations with the dead

Oh my little doe

How could we ever grow old

When sleeping wolves are at our sides

And floating amber fills the sky

I'll send you letters with the birds

And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

I'll send you secrets in the wind

May our benevolence never end, my Simone

(no matter where you are)

Can we howl at the moon forever

And bury our pictures in the woods

Could we bind our souls together

And hunt for pearls where no man should
