The Last of the Independent Romantics Songtext
She waited there at the edge of town
Her hair in a mess and a silken gown
We′d spent a year planning our escape
And sworn that we'd be the first to not look down, never down
She looked at me like we never had met
Her eyes were hope with a slight regret
Her hand in mine was shivering cold
But I felt her strength as she said: I won′t look down, never down
Space beyond measure
Our souls entwined, and standing on the edge
Lord, how I'd missed her
And the static of her love inside my head
I never needed those remnants of a life we left behind
But when I saw her, I knew she was approaching the divine
And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine
And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound
As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity
She said: Not even death will ever be the end of you and me
Ain't it peculiar the strangest things can turn your life around
Her radiation invisible like love that comes unbound
And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine
And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound
As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity
She said: Not even death will ever be the end of you and I
Don′t speak, I know you′re there
The calm of your prescence, the weight of your stare
I've felt your suffering
Your dreams taking flight in, the absence of wings
At last we′re all alone
We'll carry each other into the unknown
Stay close, illuminate
The part of me the dark has yet to take
Don′t you worry 'bout the future
Times like these weren′t meant to last
But I'll cherish you forever and this moment is eternal
Just like everything must pass.
