Late For The Sky

All the words had all been spoken
 And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
 And still we continued on through the night
 Tracing our steps from the beginning
 Until they vanished into the air
 Trying to understand how our lives had led us there
 Looking hard into your eyes
 There was nobody I'd ever known
 Such an empty surprise to feel so alone
 Now for me some words come easy
 But I know that they don't mean that much
 Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
 You never knew what I loved in you
 I don't know what you loved in me
 Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be
 Awake again I can't pretend
 And I know I'm alone
 And close to the end of the feeling we've known
 How long've I been sleeping?
 And how long've I been drifting alone through the night?
 How long've I been dreaming I could make it right?
 If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
 To be the one you need
 Awake again I can't pretend
 And I know I'm alone
 And close to the end of the feeling we've known
 How long've I been sleeping?
 How long've I been drifting alone through the night?
 How long've I been running for that morning flight?
 Through the whispered promises and the changing light
 Of the bed where we both lie late for the sky
