Mortal Game from Motion Carries by Emerald City Council

When the shadow falls
A curtain call
Filled with sadness

Here you long to roam
Away from home
A certain madness

And I would have given all for you
No, I should have told you
And when I think of all we knew
No, I couldn’t hold you

I’ll fly higher and higher
I’ll reach beyond this mortal game
I’ll be looking for you
And on the other side, we shall remain

Words within your grasp
But fading fast
So much confusion

Now we’ve closed the door
Forever more
In your seclusion

And you would have given all for me
Still, I know you’d be there
And with each fading memory
No, life can be unfair

I’ll fly higher and higher
I’ll reach beyond this mortal game
I’ll be looking for you
And on the other side, we shall remain

As I follow where you’ve gone
Thinking of what’s meant to be
Is our future set in stone?
Can we write our destiny?

Looking back while moving on
Loving those who’ll see us through
Hoping to be reunited
In a place that’s out of view

And I would have given all for you
No, I should have told you
And when I think of all we knew
No, I couldn’t hold you

I’ll fly higher and higher
I’ll reach beyond this mortal game
I’ll be looking for you
And on the other side, we shall remain
