Lyrics

As the sun was set

Reflecting on a moment as the day ends

And the pieces of light touch your hair

Noticing how light interacts with your hair

Perfect love come softly

Anticipating a gentle, perfect love

With the dawn, the dawn

Love arriving with the dawn, bringing hope

City once full of people

Once a bustling city, now empty and abandoned

Desolate, is desolate

Describing the desolation of the city

We look back in

Looking back to the past, to the remains of joy

To the ruins where we played

Recalling joyful moments in the ruins

At least we were together

Grateful for the companionship despite the circumstances

Holding hands

Physical closeness and unity through touch

Flying through the sky

Metaphorically soaring together

At least we were together

Reiteration of unity and togetherness

Holding hands

Continued emphasis on closeness and unity

Flying through the sky

Emphasizing the vastness and freedom of the sky

Sky

Repetition of the expansive sky

Touch your hand

Connection through physical touch

You touch the back of my hand

Reciprocal touch, signifying intimacy

So many empty nights

Long periods of emptiness and waiting

Just waiting for this, for this

Waiting for a particular moment or event

Standing there

Depiction of a static moment

All heading downstream

Everyone moving in the same direction, metaphorically

Unsteady island

An unstable or uncertain situation

We hear nothing, nothing

Silence and lack of communication

At least we were together

Again, gratitude for shared experiences

Holding hands

Continued unity and togetherness

Flying through the sky

Reiterating the feeling of flying together

At least we were together

Repeated emphasis on togetherness and unity

Holding hands

Continued closeness and unity

Flying through the sky

Repetition of the freedom and vastness of the sky

Sky

Reiteration of the expansive sky

At least we were together

Continued emphasis on togetherness and unity

Holding hands

Emphasizing closeness and unity yet again

Flying through the sky

Repetition of the sensation of flying together

At least we were together

Continued emphasis on closeness and unity

Holding hands

Reiteration of physical closeness and unity

Flying through the sky

Continued emphasis on flying together

At least we were together

Again, emphasizing togetherness and unity

Holding hands

Continued emphasis on physical closeness

Flying through the sky

Emphasizing the sensation of flying together

At least we were together

Reiteration of physical closeness and unity

Holding hands

Continued emphasis on togetherness and unity

Flying through the sky

Repetition of the vastness and freedom of the sky

Sky

Reiteration of the vastness and freedom of the sky
