If only you were a ship
I´d sail the seven seas
Claiming all the land
In the name of you and me
We´d drift down the coast
In search of our new life
But all we´d find is gold
Just to misdirect our minds

Don´t say no
Oh don´t burn yourself alive
Won´t you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin
I´ll be waiting here

If only I was a star
Sewn into the sky
Hanging from a thread
That keeps you awake at night
And when we would look up
The fog would cover me
Hiding all that we shared
And all that we could be

Don´t say no
Oh don´t burn yourself alive
Won´t you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin
I´ll be waiting here

And I´ll be waiting here
And I´ll be standing here
Are you listening?

Don´t say no
Don´t burn yourself alive
Won´t you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin
I´ll be waiting here

I´ll be waiting here
And I´ll be standing here
I hope you´re listening
I hope you´re listening
