On a Midnight Street

I'm lost on an evening tide
A red ocean into a northern sky
And the deep water moves like grey ribbons on a wind
I've always seen the beauty in it
It's a slow change, it's hard to recognize it
And the myths of the modern age always darken the door
Always the door!
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
See I don't wanna let her down
It's a fear in the dark
I want to be around to see my daughter grow older
In a world that still has some beauty
It's a siren on a midnight street
When no one's listening, it's hard to compete
For each man's meaning is as large as the world he's living in
The world he's living in!
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
We were living in the dark
Yeah, we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
