lights in the windows
snow in the street
kids on the ice rink
the cop on the beat
coming back home to find
nothing has changed
and yet everythings different now,
isnt it strange
something is moving
something is gone
the clock hands have stopped
but the ticking goes on
I lie in the darkness
and yet at the seams
of the night its as though
something flickers and gleams
I dreamed I was a prisoner
I dreamed of a wall
I tried to fly over
and started to fall
I awoke and reached out
just as though you were there
oh this distance
just doesnt seem fair
didnt I tell you
didnt I just
when water meets iron
its iron that rusts
oh I was the strong one
right up till the end
when your tenderness broke me
and healed me again
now who do you think
Im crying for
now that Ive finally
unlocked the door
oh Ive got no regrets
but I see theres a price
cause I cant stand alone any more
lights in the windows
stars in the sky
the moment was there
but the moment slipped by
yet something stays with me
it stays and it stays
though theres four thousand miles
arent there four thousand ways
or at least one or two
you know one of these days
Im gonna find my way back to you
