To be loved for a day
Then thrown out and away
When it gets a bit late
For them to stay
A loose cog in a wheel
Turning away what is real
An outdated machine
There's nothing I feel
It's okay, I'll stay away
The clock in the tower
Striking a new wasted hour
Face down on the ground
I head for a cloud
That I left safe with you
A secret that only you knew
It was all I could do
To get through to you
It's okay, I'll stay away
Things we kept away
Under lock and chain
All this hopeless pain
The ocean swept by
(Swept me up and away)
A seance was held in the sky
I saw shining lights
(Shining lights brought the day)
Call me to the night
I followed their trail
(Followed them without fail)
The wind gently guiding my sail
A morning so pale
(And this hope now so frail)
This hope now so frail
It's okay, I'll leave today
