Song Lyrics

Now, as I had a look at you
It took a heartbeat and I knew
That the candle of my life was burning shorter.
You turned me 'round to face myself,
To make me trust in what I am,
Now, after all that I have done it makes me wonder I'm around.

Now the night has gone, better days to come,
All this time I have been afraid, it is not too late.

All this time while we talked my thoughts collided.
All this time I could have seen but I was blind,
All this time.

I thought I'd never see the day
That in myself I'd feel this way.
We are the meaning and we know,
Forever different, the same.

Now the night has gone, better days to come.
All this time I have strained my mind, waiting for a sign.

Time is like a river that is running out to sea.
We can't touch the ground, so grab a blade of straw.
If you swim on waves of trust you cannot even drown,
When you hit the shores of love you cannot die.

Gordon Sumner
