Days Go By

What if I knew you
What if you never asked me why

And you tried
And you tried
And you tried

What if I fooled you
What if I never told you why

And you cried
And you cried
And you cried

Passing through the heights
Beyond the boulevard
A secret remains
Buried with my restraint

Through the hidden path
Caught up in wandering light
I'm tracing your name
Etched in stone again

What if I knew you
What if I never asked you why

But you tried
But you tried
But you tried

What if I fooled you
What if you never told me why

But you cried
But you cried
But you cried

If death's a world away
Why am I seeing things again
Visions of blank faces
In distant places
I think this is the end

I tried to to run away
But she's still here inside my head
Like a patient on the table
With the angels
Be seeing you, my friends

As the days go by
I'm running out of time
Dance, dance
'Til the mourning ends

She's calling me
Calling me home again

Under Byzantine skies
I dreamt of her emerald eyes
Dance, dance
'Til your heart gives in

She's calling me
Calling me

She's calling me
Calling me home again

I will miss the days
I will never see
Like a star on a movie screen
It's just like heaven

I will miss the pain
And the love you gave
Like a flower on a grave
It's just like heaven

As the days go by
I'm running out of time
Dance, dance
'Til the mourning ends

She's calling me
Calling me home again

Under Byzantine skies
I dreamt of her emerald eyes
Dance, dance
'Til your heart gives in

She's calling me
Calling me

She's calling me
Calling me home again

I woke up it was half past seven
And time never felt so irrelevant
Misanthropic catatonic
The whole damn place feels haunted
Or animatronic

I walked outside and found a tenement
Abandoned
Waiting for a better man

Elusive or quixotic
These truths defy
All explanation
Or sound logic

I would stop missing you
If that's really what you want me to do
You may deny the truth
But in the next life
I'll keep searching for you

I will miss the days
I will never see
Like a star on a movie screen
It's just like heaven

I will miss the pain
And the love you gave
Like a flower on a grave
It's just like heaven

As the days go by
I'm running out of time
Dance, dance
'Til the mourning ends

She's calling me
Calling me home again

Under Byzantine skies
I dreamt of her emerald eyes
Dance, dance
'Til your heart gives in

She's calling me
Calling me

She's calling me
Calling me home again

I am gone today
Far from all that's grey
The darkness has abated
For you now
You now

All the saints
Have gone away
You're doing better
Than you think

The losers win
For a change
You'll be much better off this way
They say

For you now

I will miss the days
I will never see
Like a star on a movie screen
It's just like heaven

I will miss the pain
And the love you gave
Like a flower on a grave
It's just like heaven

As the days go by
I'm running out of time
Dance, dance
'Til the mourning ends

She's calling me
Calling me home again

Under Byzantine skies
I dreamt of her emerald eyes
Dance, dance
'Til your heart gives in

She's calling me
Calling me

As the days go by
I'm running out of time
Dance, dance
'Til the mourning ends

She's calling me
Calling me home again

Under Byzantine skies
I dreamt of her emerald eyes
Dance, dance
'Til your heart gives in

She's calling me
Calling me

She's calling me
Calling me home again
