    Lyrics »

Illume says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to Point Dune
Illume- like it dances
I am a cliff dweller from the old school

I like the coastal cities
I like the lights…
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
Like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky

I’m alone
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we’ve been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger

I will not take you for granted
I wouldn't trade you for jade
Or for diamonds
Not for one minute
Not for anything
I need you to be there
Just remember when I am haunted
That I was just scared

I’m alone
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we’ve been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger

What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It’s just like a river
Oh, it’s never ending…
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away

Because it’s just like a river
It’s never ending
It’s just like a river
It’s never ending

I’m alone
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we’ve been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger

What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It’s just like a river
Oh, it’s never ending…
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away

I’m alone
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we’ve been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger

What I saw on this journey
Is what legends are made of
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It’s just like a river
Oh, it’s never ending…
No, I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away

Because it’s just like a river
It’s never ending
It falls away
Like a river
It’s never ending
