Lyrics
Almost There
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.
As their wings go dark - up against the sun
and their shadows pass - over everyone
and time unfolds - to a beating drum
I throw my clothes on a burning chair
I paint my eyes with the cold night air
the dreamer shouts - to an empty room
and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn
falling rain
in the end
there's a silence
and the TV set doesn't show the fall
the light is fast the world is small
and in the end there's a silence
and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn
