|
And in the dark he sits alone |
|
To work his final hours bleeding |
|
While unconcerned upon the wall |
|
The clock it ticks away the time |
|
No need for words for in the dark |
|
All words have long since lost their meaning |
|
Still when they whisper in his ear |
|
He tries to read between the lines |
|
What I see in the night? |
|
What I feel in your heart? |
|
All your dreams all your lies |
|
Can you tell them apart? |
|
See the hands on the clock |
|
Are you watching them turn? |
|
For your candle's quite low |
|
We've been watching it burn |
|
Do you lie here awake |
|
As the shadows look on? |
|
Should they cry for your sake? |
|
Should you sleep in their arms? |
|
For the shadows see all |
|
And they rarely forget |
|
Every dream that you've had |
|
Every act you regret |
