lyrics

The music we make when we stay in one place dreams of leaving
The music we make when we’re far away just wants to come home
Home is the place that I go whenever I’m feeling
That I will need some time to be a lone

Alone is the black of the coat of the spirit lost dreaming
As the clock on the wall in the hall recalls holidays
And the girl on the street is discreet as the signs to the seashore
Where the kites fly at night time and the moon shines on everyone’s face

As glorious horses gallop by
I’ll tip toe to my window and decide
That the world within is the world outside

When I fall from grace I long for a taste of what’s promised
By the light of the stars we can see but can’t understand
That the grace that we waste when we make haste and chase as we’re falling
Is the very same place we disgrace like a bird in the hand

As glorious horses gallop by
I’ll tip toe my windows and decide
That the world within is the world outside

Girls don’t be sad that there’s sleeping black bats in cathedrals
They make a beautiful sight taking flight as the midnight bells ring
If you ever come close to my home like a ghost and you’re lonely
Just open your ears and I’ll open my windows and sing
