|
Darling, take my hand |
|
This ride is getting rough |
|
And there's no talk of |
|
Trouble ceasing |
|
I want you in my arms |
|
They're sounding the alarms |
|
And no one knows if |
|
We've seen the worst yet |
|
Sometimes I close my eyes |
|
And hum the songs we loved |
|
Your dress was blue and you |
|
Were as bright as Christmas |
|
And down through all the streets |
|
The air was cool and sweet |
|
And all we knew was brief |
|
But seemed eternal |
|
The cathedrals and the banks |
|
The stones we throw at tanks |
|
The endless war of man |
|
Verses himself |
|
The traffic night and day |
|
The things we try and say |
|
The growing din of |
|
Human wreckage |
|
It started simple enough |
|
Day broke and we woke up |
|
To the morning news and |
|
The smell of coffee |
|
I loved you with my mind |
|
I gave you all my time |
|
And then things got sublime |
|
We are snowmen |
|
We disappear |
|
Our hearts are nuclear |
|
With hope and fear |
|
Hope and fear |
|
Hope and fear |
