Monument

I’d build you a tower
I’d build you a monument
A second of your time
Turns into a lifetime spent
When the Titanic of my heart smashes
Into your ice-grey eyes
I’m drowning in your North Sea, and I don’t mind
I’m diving down to heat
I’m diving down to see
I know there’s something warm below the freezing
You know that I believe
I’m building you a monument
Against my better judgment
Better then to die, than be too afraid to try

You left me a message telling me all’s not lost
A test of devotion, an ocean I still have to cross
And as I climb up from my deepest depths
To reach your heights
I wonder will I find
A frozen satellite?
I’m rising up at speed
I’m rocketing to see
I know there’s something burning inside your freezing
On up towards the light
Of your ice-grey eyes

You know that I believe
I’m building you a monument
Against my better judgment
What will I find
In your ice-grey eyes?

I walk out of the shadow and into the light
