Late For The Sky

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 has 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 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
