lyrics

You stay over there
Don’t get too close
I was living at your house
But your heart stayed closed

I have seen you as you see yourself
A restless spirit alone in a crowd

Lying in the dunes
On the wings of spring
The fog was lifting
No more suffering

Did you see me as a wide-eyed doe?
A virgin voice eclipsing your own?

I close my eyes and see your face
As if I’m staring at the sun
I can still hear you say
The love we had wasn’t enough

Watching as the treetops turn to gold
Listen for the sounds that silence stole
Always saw us as a raven pair
But you lost your way and left me circling in the air

I close my eyes and see your face
As if I’m staring at the sun
I can still hear you say
The world we had wasn’t enough

Don’t you see we can’t go back
To dark hotels pretending
It’s not slipping away?
Did you see me as a wide-eyed doe?
A virgin voice eclipsing your own?
I close my eyes and see your face
As if I’m staring at the sun
I can still hear you say
The world we had wasn’t enough

Do you close your eyes and see my face?
Do you ever fall back in love?
I’m afraid to hear you sing
That velvet voice leading me on
And on and on and on
