Sometimes I find I drift away
|
Behind a distant smile
|
|
Light years ago I think someone spoke
|
Quizzical glances behind cigarette smoke
|
She drew the curtains at the end of the day
|
And then we laughed because the room sailed away
|
|
Fancy glitter in the summer arcades
|
Then autumn leaves fall by a winter lane
|
Piano echoes and the perfume still lingers
|
But you fell through my fingers like sand
|
|
With a distant smile
|
A distant smile
|
A distant smile
|
Somehow I always seem to be
|
Adrift in other times with a distant smile
|
|
Take off above the sound of the streets
|
The city's glittering like diamonds in heat
|
Our secret destination, touch down in the haze
|
As the cameraman pans away
|
|
Hey look, it's a long lost horizon
|
Private oceans you can surface a sunrise in
|
Hearts well ? dodging logic
|
But nevertheless still permanently surprised
|
|
Behind a distant smile
|
A distant smile
|
A distant smile
|
Somehow I always seem to be
|
Adrift in other times behind a distant smile
|
|
Proceed
