Standing next to you my hands like wounded birds
I never know just what to say
And all around me is this world a swirling mass
My rusty smile gives me away
I see you as a bud pushed through the soil
How I wish I was the sun
And I can tempt myself to think there's something more
With all this new life just begun, just begun
Don't crack this velvet sky
And wake me from this dream
Of living all my life through you
Just let me walk this world
In love with all I see, all I see
If I speak my peace and take your name in vain
The voice comes from this tarnished soul
For I'm in no position to reproach your faith
And turn this diamond into coal, into coal
Don't crack this velvet sky
And take me from this dream
Of living all my life with you
Just let me walk this world
In love with all I see, all I see
I'm a ghost in this world
I'm a ghost in this world
You have shown the proper kindness for the beast
Then you send me on my way
On my lips the tiny memories will burn
I say your name so they won't fade
They won't fade
They won't fade
