Late for the sky

 

All the words had all been spoken

And somehow the feeling still wasn't right

And still we continued on through the night

Tracing our steps from the beginning

Until they vanished into the air

Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

Looking hard into your eyes

There was nobody I'd ever known

Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

Now for me some words come easy

But I know that they don't mean that much

Compared to the

 Words that come

With lovers touch

You never knew what I loved in you

I don't know what you loved in me

Maybe the picture of somebody

You were hoping I might be

Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone

And close to the end of the feeling we've known

How long have I been sleeping

How long have I been drifting

Alone through the night

How long have I been dreaming

I could make it right If I closed my eyes

And tried with all my might

To be the one you need

Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone

And close to the end of the feeling we've known

How long have I been sleeping

How long have I been drifting

Alone through the night

How long have I been running

For that morning flight

Through the whispered promises

And the changing light

Of the bed where we both lie

Late for the sky
