The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go byThey go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discoverAnd the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No lightNo doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttimeAnd the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No lightWe will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strainNow I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes, I will live aloneAnd the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No lightYou will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing
