Days Go By

What if I knew you What if you never asked me why And you tried And you tried And you tried What if I fooled you What if I never told you why And you cried And you cried And you cried Passing through the heights Beyond the boulevard A secret remains Buried with my restraint Through the hidden path Caught up in wandering light I'm tracing your name Etched in stone again What if I knew you What if I never asked you why But you tried But you tried But you tried What if I fooled you What if you never told me why But you cried But you cried But you cried If death's a world away Why am I seeing things again Visions of blank faces In distant places I think this is the end I tried to to run away But she's still here inside my head Like a patient on the table With the angels Be seeing you, my friends As the days go by I'm running out of time Dance, dance 'Til the mourning ends She's calling me Calling me home again Under Byzantine skies I dreamt of her emerald eyes Dance, dance 'Til your heart gives in She's calling me Calling me She's calling me Calling me home again I will miss the days I will never see Like a star on a movie screen It's just like heaven I will miss the pain And the love you gave Like a flower on a grave It's just like heaven As the days go by I'm running out of time Dance, dance 'Til the mourning ends She's calling me Calling me home again Under Byzantine skies I dreamt of her emerald eyes Dance, dance 'Til your heart gives in She's calling me Calling me She's calling me Calling me home again I woke up it was half past seven And time never felt so irrelevant Misanthropic catatonic The whole damn place feels haunted Or animatronic I walked outside and found a tenement Abandoned Waiting for a better man Elusive or quixotic These truths defy All explanation Or sound logic I would stop missing you If that's really what you want me to do You may deny the truth But in the next life I'll keep searching for you I will miss the days I will never see Like a star on a movie screen It's just like heaven I will miss the pain And the love you gave Like a flower on a grave It's just like heaven As the days go by I'm running out of time Dance, dance 'Til the mourning ends She's calling me Calling me home again Under Byzantine skies I dreamt of her emerald eyes Dance, dance 'Til your heart gives in She's calling me Calling me She's calling me Calling me home again I am gone today Far from all that's grey The darkness has abated For you now You now All the saints Have gone away You're doing better Than you think The losers win For a change You'll be much better off this way They say For you now I will miss the days I will never see Like a star on a movie screen It's just like heaven I will miss the pain And the love you gave Like a flower on a grave It's just like heaven As the days go by I'm running out of time Dance, dance 'Til the mourning ends She's calling me Calling me home again Under Byzantine skies I dreamt of her emerald eyes Dance, dance 'Til your heart gives in She's calling me Calling me As the days go by I'm running out of time Dance, dance 'Til the mourning ends She's calling me Calling me home again Under Byzantine skies I dreamt of her emerald eyes Dance, dance 'Til your heart gives in She's calling me Calling me She's calling me Calling me home again
