She flies into space, he just waits and counts the days There's so much he needs to say to her The crime is not to believe, given time it eats away Until you feel that you can't take no more
You brace yourself for something worse, just in case she's gone Nothing makes you safe, you can't rely upon You hate to admit to yourself, you're hanging on a prayer Nowhere you can run, something you're depending on
The fear is here again (The voices in my head, ghosts within my soul) I'm lying in my bed, waiting for a friend She flies, she flies (Waits and counts the days) Till you feel that you can't take no more
Your self-belief and dignity is there but only just A cradle holds her soul, you just can't let it go A crime, even impunity are dreams you hold so dear For the sake of love, for the sake of all of us
Pour some dark on me, I don't feel so good Hold the light up, I need to see you
You brace yourself for something worse, just in case she's gone Nothing makes you safe, you can't rely upon You hate to admit to yourself, you're hanging on a prayer And for the sake of love, for the sake of all of us
