terracotta

A tiny dot unseen from space
You keep the pace
You pave your way through tides and time
A single tile
A song nobody can rehearse
A universe

Bright smiles can hurt you more than pain
White lies can make your truth go pale
Great loves can die still unconfessed
Feel blessed

‘Cause even your mistakes
Will make
The glowing embers hotter
Let’s go skip stones
On quiet water
Let’s go tiptoe
On terracotta
So close to what was long ago
Let’s go
Tiptoe on terracotta

Wild rains will flood your sleepy street
Full moons will crash down at your feet
Cold winds will blow right through your chest
Feel blessed

‘ Cause every breath you take
Will make
The glowing embers hotter
Let’s go skip stones
On quiet water
Let’s go tiptoe
On terracotta
So close to what was long ago
Let’s go
Tiptoe on terracotta

You’ll witness joys and disillusions
The birth and death of revolutions
The waltzing steps of first time lovers
The sunsets of exploding colours
You are a maze of battle scars
A landing place for shooting stars
A song nobody can rehearse
A universe
