Glass Houses

If I could reach up
And scrape the clouds out of the sky
I would rearrange them
In shapes that would leave you breathless
Not one would be the same
They would chase each other around
Until returned to the dust as they came

The sun would hide behind the hills (the hills)
Where it coundn't befound
We could walk across the ocean
As if it were glass, not making a sound
Constellations of another generation
Are where I belong our navigation
Is only met by the passing ships on the horizon
Brushing the edge of this world

Brushing the edge of this world
Don't give up on yours dreams, son

The destination of where we need to be
Is hanging in the balance
The destination of where we need to be
Is hanging in the balance

Set sail far away outside this hell
Here we are more than royalty
No empty shell

Don't worry, no need to be scared
I'll kepp you by my side
Write our names in the sand, they'll be gone with the tide
Running along the water's edge is where I'll be
Avoiding strangers and monsters os the sea.
