You were never one for waiting

Still I always thought you'd wait for me

Have you from your dream awakened

And from where you are what do you see



Which of us is now in exile

Which in need of amnesty

Are you now but an illusion

In my mind alone you breathe



You believed in things that I will never know

You were out there drowning but it never showed

Till inside a rain swept night you just let go



You're thrown it all away

And now we'll never see

The ending of the play

The grand design

The final line

And what was meant to be



In the dark a distant runner

Now has disappeared into the night

Leaving us to stand and wonder

Staring from this end into your life



You believed in things that I will never know

You were out there drowning but it never showed

Till inside a rain swept night you just let go



You've thrown it all away

And now we'll never see

The ending of the play

The grand design

The final line

And what was meant to be



And if this is all illusion

Nothing more than pure delusion

Clinging to a fading fantasy



Like Icarus who heeds the calling

Of a sun but now is falling

As the feathers of his life fall free

Can you see

See



Tomorrow

And after

You tell me what am I to do

I stand here

Believing

That in the dark

There is a clue



Perhaps inside

This midnight sky

Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes

Or then again

We'll never know

And after all

This was the show



What am I to do



Gotta get back

Gotta get back

Gotta get back



What am I to do



Gotta get back

Gotta get back
