Impossible desire, impossible the dream We lined them all up together and set off on the chase Now the years they are gone like thieves in the dark Did your eyes follow after them into the night? I watched you as you tried and tried To pull the sun from out of the sky The colours all run and the clouds collide But that was never enough And me, I've got a black place in my heart My favourite chord, my favourite card That I draw every time on these occassions If you leave a fire to burn it will burn itself away It's a long way back through the dirty waters for you and me And you're still haunted by the hands All is letting you go And if I told you not to look, would you do that for me this one time?
