Lyrics

It’s all in your eyes (ice?)
It’s all in your eyes 
For you will never hear
The sound of sound

The water flows onto the town
And drowns you on the dune
To wash away the song you play
And mold away the tune

But I’ll remember you
That’s what hurts
I’ll remember you

The water flows
Like a child it betrays you
Like a child it escapes you
Like an adult it can help you
Like an adult it can rape you

So build me a cloud
Build me a cloud
For I will never hear
The sound of sound
