Elegie lyrics

I just don't know what to do tonight,

My head is aching as I drink and breathe

Memory falls like cream in my bones, moving on my own.

There must be something I can dream tonight,

The air is filled with the moves of you,

All the fire is frozen yet still I have the will, ooh, ah.

Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance

And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too bad

That our friends can't be with us today.
