World Be Gone Lyrics - Erasure

Before we ever seize the day 

The calming of the season's end 

Life becomes a hidden play 

Imparted with a furtive glance 

Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be 

Or illusions shattered into glass 

World be gone 

Or are you filled with loving 

The way that you promised us 

Long ago 

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls 

As in ancient lore 

And as I saw you standing there 

Holding your head in your hands

Though it hurts to say goodbye 

Silver linings in the leaden sky 

One day we'll return again 

And surely we will make amends 

Consequences never seen 

Broken shadows on an empty screen 

World be gone 

Or are you filled with loving 

The way that you promised us 

Long ago 

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls 

As in ancient lore 

And as I saw you standing there 

Holding your head in your hands

World be gone
