Like Rubies

Turn sweet as salt, we burn with lightning fury
in sudden squall, we drift in solitary lines
I'll follow you through walls of sleepless currents
the way that towers over us betrays tomorrow
tell me again, tell me again how it turns out

After the sun and the stars stop burning
after the wars will the world keep revolving
after the storms will we come out shining
like rubies, like rubies

I'll stay with you until the story's over
till winter blooms into summer
and we drown in wordless beauty
tell me again, tell me again how it goes down

Hold me again, hold me again, pull me closer
