Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

Together we make our way
Passengers on a train
Whisper a secret forever
Promises in the rain

We're leaving it all behind
While castles are falling down
We're going where no one can find us
And if there's a heaven we'll find it somehow

Melodica Solo (roughly transcribed for guitar)
