From the world to the dreaming fields of light
Yeah from the soaking mud
Gonna fly up to the sky
To the scarlet thing in you
On a long lost ocean wave of light
Submerged and unafraid
I saw you
You were one
I saw you
You were one
No way back to recall the way
Cause I threw out all the why's
Spinning with the spider in the cave
Found the scarlet thing in you
Where the birds can't reach
No words can teach
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you
I saw you, you saw me
I saw you
You were the one
I saw you
You were one
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you
