| Lyrics |
| A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved Eternal rights we left behind We were the better kind Two the same - set free too I always looked to you -- The first verse on the Bains Douches live album is something like: A legacy so far removed One day will be improved Secret trials - the judges warn Check like we're never born Win the right to set free What you will be will be I put my trust in you -- We fought for good - stood side by side Our friendship never died On stranger waves - the lows and highs Our vision touched the skies Immortalists with points to prove [or in the Bains Douches live version: Captive souls - depleted soon] [and in the Still live version: Immortalists depart too soon] I put my trust in you -- A house somewhere on foreign soil Where ageing lovers call Is this your goal - your final needs? [or in the Bains Douches live version: Is this your goal - your final round?] [and in the Still live version: It's come to this - your final goal] Where dogs and vultures eat Committed still, I turn to go I put my trust in you -- In you, in you, in you Put my trust in you, in you |
