Lyrics

[00:28.73] The days, passing days
[00:50.33] I see the steeple and trace to the spire
[01:02.33] And the sunset
[01:05.58] Deepening red
[01:07.50] Phoenix and the firefly
[01:15.57] And the time stops
[01:18.76] Rush hour traffic slows
[01:24.63] And my heart starts beating this dark
[01:33.07] Through old flesh and cold bones
[01:36.20] And I long to be carried on
[01:43.45] Just once to be lifted strong
[01:49.20] Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
[01:55.64] Of the days
[01:57.57]
[02:01.20] Days, passing days
[02:14.77]
[02:16.95] The days I remember
[02:18.32] I had your love once
[02:23.65] Seized my body whole
[02:29.54] And our first dance
[02:32.92] Well, I thought by chance
[02:35.10] God had matched my soul
[02:40.17] But time bought its traveling
[02:45.85] This distance and solitude
[02:52.61] And in that traveling, myself damaging
[02:57.92] I took my love far, far from you
[03:04.24] But don't you still long to be carried on?
[03:10.92] Once more I could lift you strong
[03:17.29] Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
[03:23.74] Of the days
[03:29.49] Passing days
[03:34.74] Passing days
[03:41.42] Days
[03:46.38] Now tell me
[03:48.01] Have we gone too far or did we get too close?
[03:53.76] Forgive me, Father, I've no son, here come, ghost
[03:59.57] I promise I'll meet you
[04:04.07] I'll meet you at the end of the days
[04:12.54] The days, passing days
[04:26.66] Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
