lyrics

In 15,000 years
The atoms of my eyes
Will be wings of a bird
Maybe stars in the sky

In 15,000 years
There'll be no need to talk
or cry

And everything I think I know
everything I think I need
Will all have melted away

Everything that I hold close
Everything I hold so dear
Evaporates eventually

When the atoms of my jaw hinge have all flown away
And those that make my bones have all turned into clay

I will tell you I love you
You'll feel it like sunshine
You will know that I love you
I hold your heart in mine

When a star is red
It's not as hot and it is
getting older

When a star is blue
It's at the end of it's life
And it's burning up it's fuel, oh

Everything that I've been told
Is that my love will grow old
And jaded it will fade in time

But everything that I hold
All the wisdom in my soul
Says it's the only thing that's really mine

When the atoms of our ashes have all blown away
And those that make my bones have become the Milky Way

I will tell you I love you
You'll feel it like sunshine
You will know that I love you
I hold your heart in mine

My atoms will join your atoms and when our atoms combine (repeat)

There's no such thing
as mine
