[Verse 1]

Wander out to the dunes by the sea

The tide rolls, sun-stained colors; happy

I wade in a notion, a thought so brief

To soak in the warmth, then sink to the deep

I saw my life on a long desert road

Nothing seems to change as far as I go

Waged war in the night, fought grief from his rope

With belief in her eyes born by fallen snow

[Chorus]

These red-eye flights, so lonely

This dread I hold so closely

[Verse 2]

And I'll go out every once in a while

Share a laugh with a chatty brunette

Akin my own to a lost lovеr’s smile

No, I'm just a mosaic of everyonе I've met

[Bridge]

Of everyone I’ve met

You seem to forget

Those dunes have a debt

To drown in the tide (I can't go back)

Or die from the thirst (Back to those dunes)

[Chorus]

These red-eye flights, so lonely

This dread I hold so closely
