It's a story that dances like a happy girl In the blood of my family And he was sad because he saw a perfect thing And his soul wasn't old enough so he lost it Like footprints in the shifting sand Our days are scattered and brought back Love always gives you a funny hand When you wake up in the devil's camp With a forest of arms gathered into one They pulled me out of the water From the long embrace of the crystal sea And we ran till the evening Like footprints in the shifting sand Our days are scattered and brought back Love always gives you a funny hand When you wake up in the devil's camp We are your longest love It floats on a silver string from A to B When you found out how pretty we think you are Something burst like a star inside your heart
