guiding light

Came from the west, only to fly again
The eyes that see, the lips that tell no tales
Nobodys guest, dressed like a mannequin
Put out to sea before the ship had sails
I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart
Theres a guiding light still shines
For our lives and times we should have spent together
But we passed each other by like seasons out of time
Easter you left, changed more than anyone
I asked you why, you told me,
Just because
Nobody guessed, under your influence
The man I am is not the man
I was We have lived our lives across this great divide
I couldnt make you change your mind
And we almost glimpsed a promise of forever
But we passed along the way like seasons out of time
Sometimes everything is hard to bear
Let go, following without a care
Still now, though its hard to understand
We built on shifting sand
Somehow memories are more than this
Set free only with a deathly kiss
And now when the restless hour is high
A million stars go by
We never can remember all the lives weve lived before
The days decline in number, slip the ropes away from shore
Whenever Heaven calls us theres regret and compromise
And in another distance lies a past unrealised
Where are you now?
Who are you now?
Is anyone really gone?
In all the world, in all this space, the race is run
I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart
Theres a guiding light still shines
For our lives and times weshould have spent together
But we passed each other by like seasons out of time
