My harbour lights are fading fast

soon they'll disappear

alone I sit in darkness

hoping someone might come near

though I wait, though I try

no one ever comes

and the feelings that I have flood over me

the river starts to run



We fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close



Every place you run to, everywhere you turn

there are places that you know you should not go

but some bridges just won't burn

all my life, though I try

I cannot change the past

and the ghosts that come back to haunt you

make you realise that



We fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close

we fly too close



My heart is racing much faster now

life passes before my eyes

something's I see, they make me smile

something's they make me cry

so I look, so I try to find

a lesson I can learn

the passing of time hasn't changed my mind

and the ghosts I know return



You know we fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close

we fly too close



We fly so close, you and I sometimes

sometimes we fly so close

we'll never know how many times

we fly so close

we fly so close
