We Had Lost Our Minds

Do you remember the year when we

Walked through snow to search for christmas?

You kept saying that the lights would be

Round the corner soon

Out into the half light of winter gloom

Trees seemed scared by their own branches

All the living things in the forest knew

We had lost our minds

Oh - you're colder than you know

So let me be your light for the way home

Do you remember the things we saw?

As the path grew slowly smaller

All overgrown with the angry thorns

That tried to pierce our skin

Then out of nowhere the ocean rose

Up before us vast and restless

Suddenly we knew that we had to go

We had to cross the sea

Oh - you're colder than you know

So let me be your light for the way home

I saw the lights come on

From miles away they shone

But they were the lights from home

Shining back across the sea.
