lights in the windows

snow in the street

kids on the ice rink

the cop on the beat

coming back home to find

nothing has changed

and yet everythings different now,

isnt it strange



something is moving

something is gone

the clock hands have stopped

but the ticking goes on

I lie in the darkness

and yet at the seams

of the night its as though

something flickers and gleams



I dreamed I was a prisoner

I dreamed of a wall

I tried to fly over

and started to fall

I awoke and reached out

just as though you were there

oh this distance

just doesnt seem fair



didnt I tell you

didnt I just

when water meets iron

its iron that rusts

oh I was the strong one

right up till the end

when your tenderness broke me

and healed me again



now who do you think

Im crying for

now that Ive finally

unlocked the door

oh Ive got no regrets

but I see theres a price

cause I cant stand alone any more



lights in the windows

stars in the sky

the moment was there

but the moment slipped by

yet something stays with me

it stays and it stays

though theres four thousand miles

arent there four thousand ways

or at least one or two

you know one of these days

Im gonna find my way back to you
