I've never really known which way I'm facing

But I feel like something's changed

There's a storm outside, my walls are aging

They're coming back down in the hardest way

There's a reign protecting me

Rings around my father's eyes

Light above the morning sea

Into darkness I will reach

Fall into the ocean deep

Just to bring you back

Babe, it's almost five

I've been gone since the moonlight faded

And punishing rain washed me away

How can I give back what once was stolen?

How can I stay all day?

Well, it's all a lie, I'm just hiding the memory

Yeah, what awaits for you?

What awaits for me?

There's a bridge connecting me

Rings around my father's eyes

Light above the morning sea

Fill the gray into the song

Feel the wings across your arms

Under the way it moves its own

Hm, hm

As I ride into the wind

What a restless feeling

One I've tried to hide so long

Fill the gray into the song

To feel the wings across your arms

Cut the wing in two

No one really knows which way they're facing

Till they're coming back down
