Otherworldly Children

We'll build a woundrous fort of mystery
Where thundergods will let us keep our dreams forever
(no matter where we are)
Bury the keys to our hearts in the mountains
Shy away from ticking clocks
To save our kindred hearts
(no matter where we are)

Oh my little bird
Only we know this world
And all the creatures in our heads
Conversations with the dead

Oh my little doe
How could we ever grow old
When sleeping wolves are at our sides
And floating amber fills the sky

I'll send you letters with the birds
And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone
(no matter where you are)
I'll send you secrets in the wind
May our benevolence never end, my Simone
(no matter where you are)

Can we howl at the moon forever
And bury our pictures in the woods
Could we bind our souls together
And hunt for pearls where no man should

We'll build a silken ship of feathers
And sail it to the dying stars
To sing farewell to them all
Give all our treasures to the monsters
Cover them in shining jewels
Make them feel beautiful too

I'll send you letters with the birds
And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone
(no matter where you are)
I'll send you secrets in the wind
May our benevolence never end, my Simone
(no matter where you are)

Oh my little bird
Only we know this world
And all the creatures in our heads
Conversations with the dead

Oh my little doe
How could we ever grow old
When sleeping wolves are at our sides
And floating amber fills the sky

I'll send you letters with the birds
And sing you songs you've never heard, my Simone
(no matter where you are)
I'll send you secrets in the wind
May our benevolence never end, my Simone
(no matter where you are)

Can we howl at the moon forever
And bury our pictures in the woods
Could we bind our souls together
And hunt for pearls where no man should
