they turn the lights down low
in shadows hiding from the world
only coming out when it gets cold

the seas part when they hit the floor
the voices carry on and out the door
and everything you touch turns into gold

like the angel
you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest
your eyes they penetrate me
(your answer's always 'maybe')
that's when I got up and left

a beating heart and a microphone
a ticking clock in an empty home
still tells of these times so long ago
and even though I've come so far I know
I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode

each and everyday it leads into tomorrow
and tomorrow brings one less day without you
but don't wait up just leave the light on
cause all the roads
that I might take will all one day lead back to you
