Second Sight
In twilight's last gleaming
As I stood alone
The rain felt soft and warm
In my moment of weakness
Was I reaching for a past
That maybe I should have left alone
But now I'm here my nerve has gone
It's faded with the light
Like these flowers I've bought you
My courage wilted with the night
But I've got to find a way
I can't stand these empty days
Maybe I should write
Maybe I should phone
What the hell is wrong with me
She's waiting there alone
Minutes seemed like hours
I was soaking to the skin
But I couldn't find a reason
Why you should let me in
If I had one wish
Right now its second sight
And I could see you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
Right now a second bite
And I could wrap you in my arms tonight
In my arms tonight
We judge ourselves by what we win and gain
Feeding our success on other people's loss and pain
Sweep beneath the carpet all our fears and our shame
And point the finger at others for the failures and the blame
If I could only find a way
I can't stand these empty days
If I'd have said all this
Would anything have changed
Would I still be standing here
With these flowers in the rain
And these minutes seem like hours
I'm soaking to the skin
But I can't find a reason
Why you should let me in
If I had one wish
Right now its second sight
And I could see you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
Right now a second bite
And I could wrap you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
As I stood alone
The rain felt soft and warm
In my moment of weakness
Was I reaching for a past
That maybe I should have left alone
But now I'm here my nerve has gone
It's faded with the light
Like these flowers I've bought you
My courage wilted with the night
But I've got to find a way
I can't stand these empty days
Maybe I should write
Maybe I should phone
What the hell is wrong with me
She's waiting there alone
Minutes seemed like hours
I was soaking to the skin
But I couldn't find a reason
Why you should let me in
If I had one wish
Right now its second sight
And I could see you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
Right now a second bite
And I could wrap you in my arms tonight
In my arms tonight
We judge ourselves by what we win and gain
Feeding our success on other people's loss and pain
Sweep beneath the carpet all our fears and our shame
And point the finger at others for the failures and the blame
If I could only find a way
I can't stand these empty days
If I'd have said all this
Would anything have changed
Would I still be standing here
With these flowers in the rain
And these minutes seem like hours
I'm soaking to the skin
But I can't find a reason
Why you should let me in
If I had one wish
Right now its second sight
And I could see you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
Right now a second bite
And I could wrap you in my arms tonight
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
If I had one wish
