When Lyrics by Elysian Fields

Bum Raps & Love Taps

0

When I am drifting in my dream
I love you
When I wake and nothing's what it seemed
I love you
When the final midnight's poised to stroke
I love you
And all of the looking glasses broke

When all of the aces have been drawn
I love you
When your king is cornered by my pawn
I love you
When you are asleep and so defenceless
I love you
When this wicked world has turned against us

Even though we didn't kiss goodbye
I love you
When there are no tears in me to cry
I love you
When the willow's weeping with desire

When the furthest cold and distant planet catches fire
Fire
Tear at the sky, haunted by windows
Those are the eyes
Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly
Lonely

When they've got our names down on a list
I love you
When I am recalling our first kiss
I love you
When you distracted and remote
I love you
When there is no voice left in my throat

When the rains a' spilling from the sky
I love you
When the thirsty riverbeds are dry
I love you
Though you never asked me to be yours

When the wild and restless waves are crashing on the shore

Tear at the sky crowded by windows
Those are the eyes
Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly
Lonely

When you are million miles away
I love you
When we've dropped our lines from this mad play
I love you
Though the longest battle is not won
I love you
When the stage is dark, the people gone
When my soul no longer takes this form
And you hear me singing in the storm
