[rev. Aug. 27, 2015]

Plane crash in the desert
Everybody walked away
Suitcase open to the breeze
Light lifting up pretty heavy

So we climbed down, looked around us
Your shirt stuck to your skin
Wreckage shimmered under sky
Nothing on the horizon

I know you can keep me warm
I know you can keep me warm

Have you ever seen the evening
The way it opens up
Lie down under a wing
We breathed in everything

I know you can keep me warm
I know you can keep me warm

The stranger in me shuddered
Your eyes were partly closed
My hand deep in the still white sand
The stars dropped down so near

And I hope they never find us
Just to disappear
We left it all behind us
Now you'll find us here

I know you can keep me warm
I know you can keep me warm
