I am a torrent of wings on the wind
I am the sound of breath on your neck
When will you turn,
and face what you flee
No rest, no peace until you meet me
I am the feeling of falling asleep
I am the dream that follows you still
When will you turn,
and face what you flee
No rest, no peace until you meet me
I am the promise you made before birth
I’ll follow you to the end of the Earth
When will you turn,
and face what you flee
No rest, no peace until you meet me
When you embrace me – you will be free
I am your shadow and you are my light
When will you turn,
and face what you flee
No rest, no peace until you meet me
