GLASS AND STONE

THE LAST OF SUMMER BREEZES BLOW

ITS SAD TO SEE THEM GO

BUT WHERE

ONE STORY ENDS

SO A NEW ONE BEGINS

THE SUN RECEDES 

AS COLOURED LEAVES OF AUTUMN 

TAKE FLIGHT ON GRAYER SKIES

REFLECTIONS IN YOUR EYES

 

COLOURS FADE AWAY

DRAINED OF LIFE

NO MORE DAYS OF GLORY

BASKING IN THE SUN

FALLING

ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE

 

ALL THAT GOT AWAY FROM US

SEEMS LIKE A LOT

THERE'S SO MUCH LOST IN TIME

ALREADY GONE

TOOK THE SUMMER

RAN AWAY

 

SUNSET PAINTS THE SKY

LEAVING YOU AND I

IN AWE

DARKNESS SETS TO FALLING

ANOTHER NIGHT WITH YOU BEGINS

TOUCH THE SKY

WHERE ANGELS FLY

TWO HEARTS MADE THE SAME

GLASS AND STONE

WE MIGHT DIE A BIT EACH DAY

BUT NOT OUR LOVE

NOTHING GETS IN THE WAY

THE SWEET SOUND OF YOU

SLEEPING BESIDE ME

FILLS MY HEART

TO FACE TOMORROW

 

WHEN THE COLD WINDS BLOW

THE TREES ARE

FULL OF SNOW

YOU'LL BE THE ONE

THAT GETS ME THROUGH EACH DAY

I FEEL IT WAS SO LONG AGO

WAS IT ALL JUST A SHOW

ONLY STOPPED WHEN I LET GO

WAS THAT THE TIME

ALL THE DAYS SEEMED SO LONG

LIFE WAS FRAGILE

BUT YET SO STRONG

 

TERROR OR JOY BY DESIGN

ALL MY HOPES MY FEARS

STRUNG OUT ON A LINE

 I WAS SO ACCEPTING

EVERYTHING WAS FINE

LIVE INSIDE THE WORLD WE CREATE

A SELF INDUCED KIND OF FATE

YOU LAUGH IT OFF

YOU MOVE ON

YOU REALIZE YOU DON'T

HAVE AS LONG

 

CHORUS

ALL THE ANGELS ARE GONE

ITS JUST ME TRYING TO SAVE ME

HAS BEEN FOR SO LONG

A KIND HEART TOO EXPOSED

SOON GETS USED

ITS HARD TO WORK IT OUT

IT ALL GETS SO CONFUSED

ALL THE ANGELS ARE GONE

WHERE DID THEY GO

THEY LEFT SO FAST

THEY LEFT A LINGERING GLOW

 

HARDENED BY TIME

YOUR FAITH SHAKEN

ALL YOUR TRUST IS GONE

IS IT JUST ME

YOU'LL NEVER SEE

SO MUCH OF YOU IN MY HEART

WE SHOULD OF KNOWN

 FROM THE START 

IT WOULD BE LIKE NOTHING

WE EVER HAD

EVER KNEW

NEVER THOUGHT WE'D DO

TIME STILL FILLS THE NIGHT

FARAWAY FROM DAYLIGHT

A LITTLE MIST

A HANDFUL OF STARS 

AND THERE YOU ARE

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

WONDERING WHO AND WHAT

STOLE ALL YOUR TIME

BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW 

JUST HOW FAST

THE TIME WOULD GO

 

WHERE TO TURN

WHERE TO GO

MORE THAN HALFWAY

TO SOMEWHERE

BUT IS IT

WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS

 CHANGING

MAKING IT A DIFFERENT

 DESTINATION

THE PLACES YOU KNEW

ARE GONE

JUST NOT THERE

ITS BEEN TOO LONG

JUST NOT THERE

YOU DON'T BELONG

 

FAMILIARITY SO OBSCURED

ARE YOU COMING

OR ARE YOU GOING

YOU'RE NOT SURE

IF THERE'S A CURE

FOR THIS

BUT RIGHT UP TO THE END

YOU CAN SAY YOU TRIED

YOU FLEW THROUGH

THE DARKNESS

TO FIND THE LIGHT

WAITING UNTIL THE TIME

WAS JUST RIGHT

YOU COULD YOU MIGHT

BE THERE

 

EACH AND EVERY TIME

 

EACH AND EVERY TIME

SAME OLD SKY

THE SUN THE MOON THE STARS

ARE THE SAME

ITS ONLY US THAT CHANGED

I PRAY

WE GROW ALONG THE WAY

SO MUCH MORE TO DO

THAN SAY

SEE YOU LATER

OR LATE

ANYWAY IS FINE

chorus:

EACH AND EVERY TIME 

WE GET IT RIGHT

ITS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

ANOTHER SUNRISE

STARTS IT ALL AGAIN

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE

WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

LEFT HERE FOR SOME TIME

SOMEHOW I KNEW

I'D NEVER FIND

SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK

OF MY MIND

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T

BE HERE TILL NOW

 

THE RAIN SOFTLY FALLING

THE SKY BLOTTED INK

PAUSE TO GIVE US

A LITTLE TIME TO THINK

MAKE A CONNECTION

FIND THE LINK

THE FABRIC WE WEAVE

THE NEED TO PUSH ON

INSTEAD OF LEAVE IT

 ALL UP TO FATE

 

EACH AND EVERY TIME

WE SEE THE LIGHT

WE GET IT RIGHT

ITS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

 

ON MY SLEEVE

 

ON MY SLEEVE

I COULD RUN

I COULD HIDE

BUT THAT'S NOT ME

WHY WOULD I

WAIT TILL NOW TO FLY

AWAY FROM YOU

THAT WAS NEVER THE WAY

I WAS GOING

 

chorus: 

ALL ALONG A DARKENED RIDGE

LIGHTNING FLASHES

THUNDER SPEAKS 

THE TRUTH YOU SEEK IS HERE

IN MY HEART AND ON MY SLEEVE

JUST BELIEVE 

ANGELS ALREADY HERE

YOU MUST KNOW

BECAUSE I CAN SEE

HOW COULD YOU NOT BE ONE

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE

I'LL BE HERE

 BY YOUR SIDE 

 

ITS WHAT'S MEANT TO BE

WHAT YOU'VE COME TO KNOW

ITS ALL YOURS FOR KEEPS

A LOVE THAT NEVER STOPS

NEVER SLEEPS

EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE

EVERY SINGLE MILE

WAS WORTH THE TRIP

NOW I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE

ALL MY LOVES FOR YOU

AND YOURS FOR ME
