Cavalry Captain lyrics

I am the cavalry captain
I am the remedy to your heart
I am the common collective
I am imprinted upon your stars

And when you shine shine your eyes
Looking lost, looking bright
We'll away on the light brigade

And if only for a second
(Only for a second)
And if only for a time
(Only for a time)
And if only for a second
(Only for a second)
And if only for a time
We'll be alive
We'll be alive

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

I am the cavalry captain
I am the remedy to your heart
I am the common collective
I am imprinted upon your stars

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

There is a world, there is a time
Looking calm, looking kind
We'll away at the break of day

And if only for a second
(Only for a second)
And if only for a time
(Only for a time)
And if only for a second
(Only for a second)
And if only for a time
We'll be alive
We'll be alive

I am the cavalry captain
I am the remedy to your heart
I am the common collective
I am imprinted upon your stars
