Candlelight Clouds

from Memory (2011) by Roderick

lyrics

If this winter would stay, maybe you'd drop me a line.
In a way, I think without you I'm fine.
I recall too many nights that I'd spend in my head,
Waiting for this tension to end.

I'm flying faster than the wind over the Manhattan bridge and into a dream.

Maybe I'm haunted by that starlight,
'Cause all of its beauty is gone.

Clouds lit up by candlelight, sounds like a perfect night again.
All these city streets come to life, feels like they're more than alive.
I'm not trying to forget, I just want to live again.

Suddenly I'm alive, feels like it's only the first time.
'Cause now I believe when my ship sets sail,
I'll take a great big breath of that ocean air and I'll be fine.

Maybe I'll take in the starlight and turn it into a song.

Clouds lit up by candlelight, sounds like a perfect night again.
All these city streets come to life, feels like they're more than alive.
I'm inspired by the lights and the sounds as they become a part of me.
I'm not trying to forget, I just want to live again.

Oh, and this is what I wanted life to be,
Just me, family, a few friends, that's all I need.
Maybe a new love when I'm ready.
I'll be fine, I'm fine.
