[Intro – Instrumental] [Soft Rhodes, weightless ambient textures, barely audible liquid breaks] [Verse 1] A blue silence, held in black A distant world that won't look back White clouds wandering through the blue A million miles of almost you Beneath my feet, the ages sleep In fields of ice, in shadows deep I watch the oceans turn and shine While Earth forgets this place of mine [Pre-Chorus] How long can one heart keep A little warmth against the deep? How long before the stars above Become indistinguishable from love? [Chorus] Oh, little blue eternity Burning quietly in the sea If I could cross the dark to you Would I still know what I once knew? Or let me sleep where no dawn goes Beneath the ice where nothing grows Where even longing loses form And silence keeps me, soft and warm [Instrumental Break] [Gentle Rhodes chords drift above soft, rolling liquid breaks] [Sub bass like a distant pulse] [Verse 2] The far side wears a veil of night No borrowed blue, no reflected light Only the ancient, frozen ground And all the words that make no sound I wonder if the cold can keep A soul from dreaming in its sleep If time could close its quiet hand And leave no trace of where I stand [Pre-Chorus] No voice to call me back again No footprints left beneath the rain Just Earth, suspended, small and bright A memory dressed in borrowed light [Chorus] Oh, little blue eternity Burning quietly in the sea If I could cross the dark to you Would I still know what I once knew? Or let me sleep where no dawn goes Beneath the ice where nothing grows Where even longing loses form And silence keeps me, soft and warm [Extended Instrumental] [Rhodes melody unfolds slowly] [Feather-light breakbeats, airy pads, deep spacious sub bass] [Gradual dissolution into near-silence] [Bridge – Whispered, Fragile] Perhaps the Earth is beautiful Because it cannot hear me Perhaps the stars are merciful Because they never answer And if the ice remembers nothing Let it remember me Not as a name, not as a shadow Just a stillness in the deep [Final Chorus – Almost Weightless] Oh, little blue eternity Still shining out of reach of me I leave no message in the snow There is no need for you to know Beyond the dark, beneath the stone I dream of being not alone Not held by love, nor touched by pain Just nowhere I must wake again [Outro] A blue silence Held in black So beautiful So far away [Long Instrumental Outro] [Soft Rhodes dissolves into distant echoes] [Liquid breaks gradually disappear] [End in silence]
