[Verse 1]
Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they been closed to hide the flames
Remains
She knows their future's burning
But she can smile just the same
Same
[Chorus 1]
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
[Verse 2]
Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay
Hey
[Chorus 2]
And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
[Outro]
Drifting away, drifting away
Drifting away, yeah
Drifting away, drifting away
Drifting away, hey
[Hidden track - "Writer's Block"]
