Guiding Light Lyrics

Came from the west, only to fly again
The eyes that see, the lips that tell no tales
Nobody's guest, dressed like a mannequin
Put out to sea before the ship had sails

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart
There's a guiding light still shines
For our lives and times we should have spent together
But we passed each other by like seasons out of time

Easter you left, changed more than anyone
I asked you why, you told me, 'Just because'
Nobody guessed, under your influence
The man I am is not the man I was

We have lived our lives across this great divide
I couldn't make you change your mind
And we almost glimpsed a promise of forever
But we passed along the way like seasons out of time

Sometimes everything is hard to bear
Let go, following without a care Still now, though it's hard to understand
We built on shifting sand

Somehow memories are more than this
Set free only with a deathly kiss
And now when the restless hour is high
A million stars go by

--Instrumental--

We never can remember all the lives we've lived before
The days decline in number, slip the ropes away from
shore
Whenever Heaven calls us there's regret and compromise
And in another distance lies a past unrealised
Where are you now? Who are you now?
Is anyone really gone?
In all the world, in all this space, the race is run

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart
There's a guiding light still shines
For our lives and times we should have spent together
But we passed each other by like seasons out of time
