They turn the lights down low,
in shadows hiding from the world,
only coming out when it gets cold

The seas part when they hit the floor,
the voices carry on and out the door,
and everything you touch turns into gold

Like the angel you are left,
creating a lightness in my chest,
your eyes they penetrate me,
(your answer's always 'maybe')that's when I got up and left

a beating heart and a microphone,
a ticking clock in an empty home still tells
of these times so long ago,
and even though I've come so far,
I know, I've got so far to go
and any day now I'll explode

like the angel you are left creating a lightness in my chest,
your eyes they penetrate me,
(your answer's always 'maybe')
that's when I got up and left

each and everyday, will lead into tomorrow,
tomorrow brings one less day without you
but don't wait up just leave the light on
cause all the roads that I might
take will all one day lead back to you

and like the angel you are you laugh, creating a lightness in my chest,
your eyes they penetrate me,

(you never c ease to amaze me)that's when I got up and left
