	Story Behind the Song "When I wrote the album Surface I originally recorded about 16 songs for it. 10 ended up making the final cut for the release. Seven was actually one of the ones I was considering shuffling over as a b-side. The more I listened to it, the more it seemed to actually fit in with the whole album which has been described to me as being "dark". Right then. Lyrics The searchlight burns a shade of blue across her eyes She draws in close and holds the sea and sinks into the sky I'm ringing bells for babylon and all her fallen dreams I'm singing tides for all you are so washed away so long into the sea She reaches in when all is dim and breaks the sound And when it's done you meet the one who took you down I'm burning pages of your life that stained the book of mine I'm holding stars against the wind to sift away the time Coming up for air still can't find the door In citadels you rise In Israel we die If all your children sleep what promise can you keep don't give me reasons why in another empty sigh you know it's true you don't ask why your written words are always lies wait for me, i'm coming home to let it go, to let die you know it's true.....
