I buried secrets in the dunes
You sang a love song for the moon
Yet it sounded the same
When morning came
 
You built stations and railways and trains
We hid like matches in boxes and caves
 
Full of wine and yellow light
Passing ships in the night
I could take off anything you like
 
See you now by the coast
The one who knows me the most
I could come back anytime you like
