[Verse 1]
Here, here it is
The place where you lived
The place where you rose
Transparent, a ghost
[Refrain]
You were mine, you were mine
[Verse 2]
Here, here's where you walked

Mine, mine (Why? Why?)
Mine, mine (Why? Why?)
Mine (Why?)
You were mine
[Verse 4]
Here, here it is
Look at it shine
Pure, polished and white
Piercing the sky
New towers of ice
So lifeless and clean
[Refrain]
You were mine, you were mine
You were mine, you were mine
You were mine, you were mine
