You came awake and you were shaking, lying safe inside my arms
In a cradle of a dream, just before my sleep was done
And I will keep the words you whispered there forever
I know someone got you first, I guess I should know better, but
I'm pulled out of my bed by the ringing telephone
It's my brother on the line, he says wake your lazy bones
The peninsula is shining in the west
You should run into this day, forget about the rest

And if there's reconcilliation to be found
And if I'm searching for a reason to be proud
I will find it, I will find it, I will find it
I will make you a promise and stand firm behind it

They say beautiful dies faster than the things we always see
Everyone's afraid of dying, everybody except me
That peninsula will shine that way forever
I will wait for you, my love, we will shine that way together

Cause if there's reconcilliation to be found
And if I'm searching for a reason to be proud
I will find it, I will find it, I will find it
I will make you a promise and stand firm behind it X2
Make you a promise and stand firm behind it
