When I was a man and you were a woman. We practiced ourselves every day. Every night. A man with no outline. Walking in the shadows. A girl with a blurred face.
What kind of girl is this. Who moves me when she speaks. I've been walking the town all night. Because I'm much too happy to sleep. And the stars. And sun.
When I walk away I notice. That the streets won't stay in focus. And then when I turn my head. I'm listening. As the pictures slowly shifting. Back again.
Standing in the dark. Watching you glow. Lifting a receiver. Nobody I know. Chorus:. Underpass. Underpass. Well I used to remember. Now it's all gone.
In twilight's last gleaming. The sky slides away. Leaving me here at. The edge of the day. Songs in the sand. Hand on the door. I've been here so often before.
We stepped out in the shatter light. And I watched as we blew away. Through a sea of seats. And the tangled-up streets. And the cities in a grey-blue haze.
Chorus:. Tidal wave. Tidal wave. Tidal wave. Goes by my window. We're swimming. It's morning. No sound at all. Through floors of apartments. Background dissolves.
With all the thunder of love. And all the wonder of love. And all the longing that comes. With every arc of the sun. This side of paradise. This side of paradise.
Every avenue seems uncertain. This film beam plays across your hands. Some day I know you'll change your place in here. Don't let the sunset make you sad.
All the kisses taste of dust here. And it's too late to change my mind. I'm still in love with the private world. Sometimes I've got to pull the blinds.
Turn my head to the sunset. Fall away for a while. And someone at my right hand. Someone at my right hand. Says "Can you believe this time?". And I turn my face to the lifting sky.
I want to stay where the summer goes. change my name and change my clothes. stand in the light of forgotten windows. out of reach down the corridors. the hidden man.
Systems of romance. Echoes of pleasure. A shiver in the dark when you call my name. Sudden horizons. Open and close between us. Touching me briefly with a healing grace.
I've felt clouds and a sunset. Rolling right across my life. I've heard those songs in the night. That can make you want to cry. And I've felt that kind of a longing.
Give me a drink and I'll remember you. Ah, blow me a shadow from that smile. Roses are blooming down all the avenues. Looks like I came home just in time.
Someone who walks with you. Shines a light in everything you do. That someone. Someone you know from sleep. Seasons pass but some things never change.
Sitting at the edge of the world. Talking with my friend. Watching the sun in her eyes. Knowing we speak the same words. And meanwhile I close my eyes and drift away.
Stand by your shadow. Now you're completed. All kinds of lights. Show me you're there. Slowly through sunsets. Somehow the air is oh so bright. Mouth on my mouth.
On the plaza. We're dancing slowly lit like photographs. Across the plaza. Toward the shadow of the cenotaph. Chorus:. Down escalators, come to the sea view.
Seems like you were lit inside. I feel like fog beside the shine. Figure fades away. Someone takes my place. Meshing with the pictures on the pages. Chorus:.
