lyrics

Iris, up on a silver screen
You're laughing
I can't hear a thing

Open your eyes
I wanna go with you

Iris, I don't like this place
It's so cold
And we seem out of phase

Rise and shine
This world still needs you

Iris, come and never let me go
Keep me warmer
Warmer than the snow
Iris, come and speak to me in tongues
Hold me closer
We can become one

Iris, I'm stumbling through
Another bad dream
It's just me and you

Rise and shine
In the valley of saints

Iris, let's shift our gears
Through bad days
And lost years

Open your eyes
This world still needs you

Iris, come and never let me go
Keep me warmer
Warmer than the snow
Iris, come and speak to me in tongues
Hold me closer
We can become one
