Verse:
On a starless night
the angels were dancing around
with their halos of smoke and
it was time for life
it was time for the old songs
to die in a beautiful light
the empty sighs
in a hopeful good-bye
will i see you again?
Pre-Chorus:
through the line
and the air
something passed between us there
in another time
you will find
i
will be there
Chorus:
take the distance
take the absence
taking me with your archaic smile
i will reach
you
and i will keep you
i will be there when you open you eyes.
Verse:
invisible queen
turning the weight into lightness
with invisible wings
i have seen
the sun rising for me
new sky open for me
Pre-Chorus:
through the line
and the air
something passed between us there
in another time
you will find
i
will be there
Chorus:
take the distance
take the absence
taking me with your archaic smile
i will reach
you
and i will keep you
i will be there when you open you eyes.
Bridge:
i'll meet you there by the thorns at noon
bring a favorite story or two
and when we leave here
take
this letter
and always pray the dream will never fade..
Chorus:
take the distance
take the absence
taking me with your archaic smile
i
will reach you
and i will keep you
i will be there when you open you eyes.
