[Intro: Troy Donockley]
Hiraeth

[Verse 1: Troy Donockley]
Beneath a cathedral
Of trees cloudhigh

[Pre-Chorus: Troy Donockley & Floor Jansen]
Step in to this view
Get that dance out of you

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Neverending
Longing for the what if’s
For a home that once was
For a ghost love lullaby
Ever tending
Watering the dead fields
Living with the hurt will
Tear the blue from shining eyes

[Verse 2 Troy Donockley, Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
A beast still roams these hills
Long to belong
Bleeding birds singing songs
Nights filled with light we don’t see

[Chorus: Troy Donockley & Floor Jansen]
Neverending
Longing for the what if’s
For a home that once was
For a ghost love lullaby
Ever tending
Watering the dead fields
Living with the hurt will
Tear the blue from shining eyes
Neverending

[Outro: Floor Jansen, Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Neverending
Longing for the what if’s
