lyrics

I've spent years searching without hope
A submarine with no periscope
The right time but never the right place
A gambler fixing the wrong race

The core of my heart was coal as black as night
But when she came around she set it all alight

Desert heat melting arctic snow
The alchemy runs the rivers gold
She's Gagarin and pioneers the stars
And in our ship we go anywhere we want

When we cross the wires the electrics will align
When she comes around we watch the sparks ignite

Then when she's gone
All the colour washes down the drain
I'm left like a mime in a black and white cartoon
All that I've learnt is nothing is as sweet as her return

So paint me in, resurrect the fire
Coz when she's near, everything's alright
