lyrics
Hearts punctured by your spire
Flames shining twice as bright last half as long with their brilliant light
Scarlet beacon fire, you guided us through the night
Now days are black and cold without you in our life
I know that I never said goodbye
'Cause we're too young to die
I keep my eyes like Caligo butterflies 'cause I wish I told you I love you
You slipped the surly bonds where never lark or eagle flew
Touched the face of God and now we're here without you
I know that I never said goodbye
'Cause we're too young to die
I keep my eyes like Caligo butterflies 'cause I'm always thinking of you
Now days are black as coals
So pass on through and pass on by where never lark or eagle fly
So pass on through and when you pass on by I'll keep my eyes like butterflies
We walked down to the water's edge and dangled feet off of a ledge
That fish that's rotting in the sand, It's not a break it's just a bend
Begin Begin, 'cause nothing really ever ends
I know that I never said goodbye
'Cause we're too young to die
I keep my eyes like Caligo butterflies 'cause I wish I told you I love you
I'll never say goodbye
I'll never say goodbye
I'll never say goodbye to you 'cause you were too young to die
