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 had 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 with the things that are said when 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 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
