Wishing the Hours Away - All About Eve

Wishing the Hours Away Lyrics

Dazed in the twilight, I see the mayfly fly
Clustering 'round streetlamps of a small town
Rush around, around
Flicker to the ground like snowOr the embers of a drowsy fire in cinders
Ephemeral, perpetual
And frail, pale written in water, fading
As the clothes we wore drift to the shore
In waves, in choirs, in spiresWhite dressed, moon blessed
Milk breast, flower
Wishing the hours awayTime, still fleeting
Transcending, never ending
Still meeting here with eternity
Still hand in handWashed clean of sand like shells
Then time flies by
And moments die in thousands
Enshrouded, cloudedWhite dressed moon blessed
Milk breast, flower
Wishing the hours away

Soft-fleshed, dark nest, miles away
