Lyrics for Song: Illume (9-11)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Fleetwood Mac
Illume says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to Point Dume
Illume---like it dances
I am a cliff dweller
From the old school
I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
It's like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky
(chorus)
I'm alone now
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger
I will not take you for granted
I wouldn't trade you for jade
Or for diamonds
Not for one minute
Not for anything
I need you to be there
Just remember when I am haunted
That I was just so scared
(chorus)
What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river
It's never ending
It's just like a river
It's never ending
(chorus)
What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
(chorus)
What I saw on this journey
Is what legends are made of
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
No, I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river
It's never ending
It falls away
like a river
It's never ending
This song is dedicated to: Rudolph Guilani, The New York City Fire
Department, the New York City Police Department, the people of New
York City, and to those who did not survive. With love.
