Waking up, I found myself a lonely home

Now I'm far across the nile

Washing up, foundations of a lonely home

Drying out, till winter comes to freeze your bones
Facing the harsh consequences or challenges until the relationship becomes cold.
The winds have changed, we'll never be the same, we'll never be the same, oh know
