    Lyrics »

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

1st Chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

2nd Chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain

Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone

1st Chorus

You will never love again
The way you loved me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by
They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

1st Chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

2nd Chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain

Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone

(1st Chorus)

You will remember
But I will die a slow death
It's only an overture
To something that was best
And don't condescend to me
Take your leave
Take your leave
Take your leave of me now
Disappear into the air
I wish you gone
And I don't care
You will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing

You will never rule again
The way you ruled me, no
No, you will never change again
The way we're changing
Well, I think that you’ll forget the pain of love
But won’t forget the strain
You won’t forget
You won’t forget
You won’t forget
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
