Archaic Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On a starless night
The angels were dancing around
With their halos of smoke
It was time for life
It was time for the old songs to die
In a beautiful light
The empty sighs
In a hopeful goodbye
Will I see you again?
Pre-Chorus:
Through the line
And the air
Something passed between us there
In another time
You will find
I will be there
Chorus:
Take the distance
Take the absence
Taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you
And I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes
Invisible queen
Turning the weight into lightness
With invisible wings
I have seen
The sun rising for me
New sky open for me
Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus
Repeat Chorus
I'll meet you there by the thorns at noon
Bring a favorite story or two
And when we leave here
Take this letter
And always pray the dream will never fade
Repeat Chorus (2x)
