(Verse 1)
The fire in my chest never turns to grey
Though winters came and stole the light of May
I wrapped it in my coat walked through the snow
A quiet flame that only I could know
(Verse 2)
Some nights the road was empty stars went cold
I whispered to the silence “I’ll still hold”
The map I drew when I was seventeen
Each faded line a promise still unseen
(Chorus)
Oh passion never fades dreams stretch long
Like river songs that never find their end
Like river songs that never find their end
I walk into the dark without a doubt
Because your name is written on the wind
—endless my friend
(Interlude –4 bars)
Ambient guitar harmonics +reversed piano notes
(Verse 3)
The world may ask for reasons proofs and clocks
But love needs no return just steady walks
I plant a seed below the frozen ground
And wait for spring to turn it into sound
(Chorus –fuller arrangement)
Oh passion never fades dreams stretch long
Like threads of silk that hold the dawn and dusk
I let them weave my years into one song
Where every note is more than dust
—endless it must
(Bridge –stripped down only Rhodes +voice)
And when the final page turns white
I won’t ask if I climbed too high
