Illume says, "The candle that I burn"   A reflection in the window all the way to point dune   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 bends into the city at night   It's like living on a working river this coastline is glittering   Like a diamond snake In a black sky      I am alone now with my thoughts   How we could make it, 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 it 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      I am alone now with my thoughts   How we could make it, how we could get out   What we've been through? All of the trauma   The smell of nag champra, shadow of a stranger      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      I am alone now with my thoughts   How we could make it, how we could get out   What we've been through? And all of the trauma   The smell of nag champra, shadow of a stranger      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      I am alone now with my thoughts   How we could make it, how we could get out   What we've been through? All of the trauma   The smell of nag champra, shadows of a stranger      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   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      La la la la   La la la la   La la la la
