lyrics

We won't touch
We won't exchange a word
The cottage is burning
so it must be wintertime
You felt like a prince
cast in a lake
When you were my age
and you had just withdrawn

And I've been thinking
on all that we had
on the freeshooter
on your arms swamped in joy

When the war is over
I'll drive far north and build a house
‘cause everything's made out
of a drop in a cave
full of saints.


You're a magician now
So don't be so sad
They say you can provide
They say you're a king
But I won't ask you
When will the sun come up?

I'm just an apprentice now
but I can show you some tricks
I can show you how to pray
So don't be so sad, don't be so sad
We're almost young
We're almost young
But we are long long long gone
