Late for the Sky

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Try to understand how our lives had led us there
Looking hard into your eyes, there was nobody I'd ever known
Such an empty surprise, to feel so alone
Now for me, some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that I said, my lover
You never knew what I loved in you
And I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody, well hoping I might meet
Awake again I can't pretend
And I know I'm alone
And close to the end of the feeling we've known
How long have I been sleeping?
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right?
If I close my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need
Awake again I can't pretend
And I know I'm alone
And close to the end of the feeling we've known
How long have I been sleeping?
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
How long have I been running for that morning flight?
Through the whispered promises and the change in light
Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky
