She flies into space, he just waits and counts the days
There's so much he needs to say to her
The crime is not to believe, given time it eats away
Until you feel that you can't take no more

You brace yourself for something worse, just in case she's gone
Nothing makes you safe, you can't rely upon
You hate to admit to yourself, you're hanging on a prayer
Nowhere you can run, something you're depending on

The fear is here again (The voices in my head, ghosts within my soul)
I'm lying in my bed, waiting for a friend
She flies, she flies (Waits and counts the days)
Till you feel that you can't take no more

Your self-belief and dignity is there but only just
A cradle holds her soul, you just can't let it go
A crime, even impunity are dreams you hold so dear
For the sake of love, for the sake of all of us

Pour some dark on me, I don't feel so good
Hold the light up, I need to see you

You brace yourself for something worse, just in case she's gone
Nothing makes you safe, you can't rely upon
You hate to admit to yourself, you're hanging on a prayer
And for the sake of love, for the sake of all of us
