Guilding Light

Came from the west, only to fly again

The eyes that see, the lips that tell no lies

Nobody's guest, dressed like a mannequin

Put out to see before the ship had sails

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart

There's a guiding light still shines

For our lives and times we should have spent together

But we passed each other by like seasons out of time

Easter you left, changed more than anyone

I asked you why, you told me, 'just because'

Nobody guessed, under your influence

The man I am is not the man I was

We have lived our lives across this great divide

I couldn't make you change your mind

And we almost glimpsed a promise of forever

But we passed along the way like seasons out of time

Somtimes everything is hard to hear

Let go, following without a care

Still now, though it's hard to understand

We built on shifting sand

Somehow memories are more than this

Set free only with a deathly kiss

And now when the restless hour is high

A million stars go by

We never can remember all the lives we've lived before

The days decline in number, slip the ropes away from shore

Whenever Heaven calls us there's regret and comprimise

And in another distance lies a past unrealised

Where are you now? Who are you now?

Is anyone really gone?

In all the world, in all this space, the race is run

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart

There's a guiding light still shines

For our lives and times we should have spent together

But we passed each other by like seasons out of time
