Phase (The Open & the Widening Sky) Songtext
von Manning

"Drive out with me to some lonely place,
Where we can hide out until morning" she says
She puts her head on his shoulder and he pushes all the pedals down
Faster and faster they move towards the
Edge, the setting Sun on the Sea, on the Sea
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
Nothing at all


She runs and runs but it still stays with her
The unexpected silence, the absence of sound
The mist in the trees reminds her of something, reminds her of nothing
But it frightens her still
So, she makes for the Open and the Widening Sky.
So, she makes for the Open and the Widening Sky.
So, she makes for the Open and the Widening Sky.
She makes for the Open.
Looking for nothing
Looking for nothing
Looking for nothing
Nothing at all

"I thought you knew my moods!" he says
"... And the way in which I handle it all.
This is just some phase on the crossroads (to a possible life).
It′s a way of moving upward and
Onwards, over the hills into the skyline
Over the hills into the skyline"
Over the hills into the skyline"
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
Nothing at all


She wipes away the single tear that
Falls from his cheekbone, so lightly
Takes his hand so gently in hers and pulls him to her side
And they catch the breeze, capture the moment
Capture one moment in time
And stand waiting.
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
... Looking for nothing
Nothing at all

They run and run but it still stays with them
The unexpected screaming, the presence of sound
The mist in the tree reminds them
Of something, reminds them of nothing
But it comforts them still
So they make for the Open and the Widening Sky
So they make for the Open and the Widening Sky
So they make for the Open and the Widening Sky
They make for the Open.

... Looking for nothing.
... Looking for nothing.
... Looking for nothing.
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
