With eyelids heavy as stone

Soon they set in quietly behind the sea

I lay them tenderly back

Water cannot wash away your visage

We go higher when we fall

And we slowly conquer it all

We go wider in the dark

And we face our fallen stars

With heavier eyelids than stone

Any glimpse of southern lights complete out of sight

I ease myself into sleep

Water cannot wash away our sorrows

We go higher when we fall

And we slowly conquer it all

We go wider in the dark

And we face our fallen stars
