I see the steeple,
And trace to the spire
And the sun set
Deep in regret
Phoenix in final fire
And the time stops
Rush hour traffic slows
And my heart starts beating this dark
Through old flesh
And cold bone
And I long to be carried on
Just once to be lifted strong
Out of the loneliness
And the emptiness
Of the days
The days
Passing days
The days
I remember
I had your love once
Seized my body whole
And in our first dance
I thought by chance
God had matched my soul
But time bought its travelling
And its distance and solitude
And in that travelling
My self damaging
I took my love far far from you
But now don't you long
To be carried on
Just once i could lift you strong strong
Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
Of the days
Passing days
Now tell me
Have we gone too far
Or did we get too close?
You've no father I've no son
But when we come ghost
I promise I will meet you
I will meet you
At the end of
The days
Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
