lyrics
grace us with your light
with your aching smile
those here have found out by themselves
you hapless precious child
steadier as you were
as you promised me
drug by an aimless bitter beast
who veers too close to the sea
that's me yeah you nailed it
send for smokes, a drink
best bring your coat and all to ride
it's cold, no stars out tonight
embrace us one last time
this you'd not deny
what was the day those pale blue eyes
lost themselves but stayed inside
to survive
well who knows
your old ways
might die down
if I'm around
the chances
are hopeful
I promise
just not today
I am out of time
with your aching smile
those here have found out by themselves
you hapless precious child
steadier as you were
as you promised me
drug by an aimless bitter beast
who veers too close to the sea
that's me yeah you nailed it
send for smokes, a drink
best bring your coat and all to ride
it's cold, no stars out tonight
embrace us one last time
this you'd not deny
what was the day those pale blue eyes
lost themselves but stayed inside
to survive
well who knows
your old ways
might die down
if I'm around
the chances
are hopeful
I promise
just not today
I am out of time
