lyrics

The wind flew in
Shook the skin we were growing in
Tired eyes
Fixed upon frozen granite skies

The wind dug in
Bit the skin we were shaking in
Blizzard road
Up ahead the never-ending snow

And you said

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

Oh the lights
In our eyes shining gold and white
Oh the lights
In our smiles illuminate the night

The wind dug in
Clawed the skin you were fading in
Blizzard road
Up ahead the closing of the show

How well we know

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Oh Reykjavik
Nothing lasts forever

Oh the lights
In our eyes shining gold and white
Oh the lights
Will go out tonight
Oh the lights
Will go out tonight

White light
Burn bright
Then go out tonight
