Oh, they say people come, say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone, and the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
Like a lion you ran, goddess you rolled
Like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple
So how come things move on? How come cars don't slow
When it feels like the end of my world?
When I should but I can't let you go?
But when I'm cold, I'm cold
When I'm cold, cold
There's a light that you give me when I'm in shadow
There's a feelin' within me, an everglow
Like brothers in blood or sisters who ride
When we swore, on that night, we'd be friends 'til we die
But the changin' of winds and the way waters flow
Life is short as the fallin' of snow
And now I'm gonna miss you, I know
But when I'm cold, I'm cold
In water-rolled salt
And I know that you're with me, and the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
But you give this feelin', this everglow
Oh-ooh
Oh, what I'd give for just a moment to hold
Yeah, I live for this feelin', this everglow
(Oh)
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you left me will everglow
