Now there's a look in your eyes,
like black holes in the circling skies.
Blown on the steel breeze,
listening to far away laughter.
You're so threatened by shadows at night,
yet so exposed in the sunlight.
On a flight of fancy,
over a windswept field,
I remebered when we were so young,
we shone like the sun.
But you reached for the secret too soon,
you yearned for the moon.
No matter how hard you tried,
you couldn't break free.
Can you escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't you keep your eyes looking up?
I wont help you bury the light,
wont give in without a fight!
Now ice is forming on my wings,
no navigator to guide me home,
just a soul in tension, but determined to try.
I can't keep looking at the circling skies,
for you are calling from the deep,
summoning me to an endless sleep.
You're bound to drag me down
form the wide, circling skies.
Suspended animation, a state of bliss.
I'm falling frozen, I'm changing so fast,
tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit,
falling from flight.
No matter how I try,
I just can't break free.
Open your heart, I'm coming down
from above the planet.
On frozen wing and broken prayer,
my grubby halo, a vapor trail
in the empty air.
I'm falling from heaven,
from the circling skies.
