[Intro]
The days
Passing days
[Verse 1]
I see the steeple
And trace to the spire
And the sunset
Deep in regret
Phoenix in final fire
[Verse 2]
And the time stops
Rush hour traffic slows
And my heart starts
Beating this dark
Through old flesh and cold bone
[Chorus 1]
And I long to be carried on
Just once to be lifted strong
Out of the loneliness
And the emptiness
Of the days
The days
Passing days
Days
[Verse 3]
I remember I had your love once
Seized my body whole
And in our first dance
I thought by chance
God had matched my soul
But time brought its travelling
Its distance and solitude
And in that travelling
My self damaging
I took my love far, far from you
[Chorus 2]
But don't you
Long to be carried on
Once more I could lift you strong
Out of the loneliness
And the emptiness
Of the days
Passing days
Passing days
Days
[Chorus 3]
Tell me
Have we gone too far?
Or did we get too close?
You've no father
I've no son
But when we come ghost
I promise I will meet you
I will meet you
At the end of the days
The days
Passing days
[Outro]
Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
