[Verse 1]

       
In the spring 

we made a boat
       
Out of feather

s, out of bone

s.
             
We set fire to

     
 our homes,
             
Walking barefo

          
ot in the snow

.

        
Distant rhythm

 of the drum
      
As we drifted 

towards the st

orm.
             
Baby lion lost

     
 his teeth,
             
Now they're sw

              
imming in the 


sea.


[Verse 2]

         
Troubled spiri

ts on my chest
           
Where they lai

d to rest.
              
The birds all 

            
left my tall f

riend
             
As your body h

       
it the sand.

        
Million stars 

up in the sky
         
Formed a tiger

s eye
             
That looked do

         
wn on my face,
             
Out of time an

         
d out of place

.


[Chorus]

    
So hold on,
           
Hold on to wha

    
t we are,
           
Hold on to you

  
r heart.


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

 
Awakened by th

e sound
     
Of a screaming

 owl.
             
Chasing leaves

        
 in the wind,
             
Going where we

          
've never been

.

         
Said goodbye t

o you my frien

d,
       
As the fire sp

read.
             
All that's lef

           
t are your bon

es
             
That will soon

           
 sink like sto

nes


[Chorus]

    
So hold on,
           
Hold on to wha

    
t we are,
           
Hold on to you

  
r heart.

So hold on,
           
Hold on to you
