Lyrics

I went swimming in the afterglow
Held my breath through the undertow
I've been dreaming of a heart of gold I
I've been dreaming mostly on my own

Walked away in the aftermath
I've been thinking how things don't last I
I've been dreaming of a heart of gold
I've been dreaming mostly on my own

The strong chords come undone
Flesh may fade and strength may run but
I keep swimming in the afterglow
Now I'm swimming mostly on my own

What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and your drive away

We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on

In the bunker of a heart
The stitches hold or they fall apart I
I’ve been dreaming of a heart of gold I
I’ve been dreaming mostly on my own

Strong chords come undone
Flesh may fade and strength may run but
I keep swimming in the afterglow
Now I'm swimming mostly on my own

What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and your drive away

We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on

What was to be, could have never been
But if a heart can turn, can it turn again
Two embers used to light the way
But now you turn the key and your drive away

We forget and we remember
We hold on and we surrender
Holy flames, fickle embers
We hold on
We hold on
