Torches
(专辑: Revolutions Per Minute - 2003)
On clearer days I
can see the
lights from my bedroom door, On windy nights I
can smell the
lake as it drifts to me from the
shore The
traffic lights silently change a
thousand times a
day But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the
sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I
turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? I
can't remember exactly when this longing began But I
know it wasn't before the
day you touched my hand, Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged, But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the
sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I
turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? So put your hands where I
can see them, And shut your mouth, I
know who you are, In a
world void of feeling or heart I
know that we are the
torches in the
dark Let's break this down, let's make this count, Let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now [repeat x2] The
angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen, The
clock strikes two, the
music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the
sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I
turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? Will we ever wake up?
