Lyrics:

Illume says the candle that I burn

A reflection in the window

All the way to Point Dume

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

It's like living on a working river

The coastline is glittering

Like a diamond snake

In a black sky



(chorus)

I'm alone now

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 so scared



(chorus)



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

Ooh, 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



(chorus)



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

Ooh, it's never ending

I cannot pretend

That the heartache falls away



(chorus)



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

Ooh, 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
