Elysian Fields - When lyrics

When I am drifting in my dream I love you When I wake and nothing's what it seemed I love you When the final midnight's poised to stroke I love you And all of the looking gla**es broke When all of the aces have been drawn I love you When your king is cornered by my pawn I love you When you are asleep and so defenseless I love you When this wicked world has turned against us Even though we didn't kiss goodbye I love you When there are no tears in me to cry When the willows weeping with desire When the furthest cold and distant planet catches fire Tear at the sky, haunted by windows Those are the eyes Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly lonely When they've got our names down on a list I love you When I am recalling our first kiss When you distracted and remote I love you When there is no voice left in my throat When the rains a re spilling from the sky I love you When the thirsty riverbeds are dry I love you Though you never asked me to be yours When the wild and restless waves are crashing on the shore Tear at the sky crowded by windows Those are the eyes Always searching never seeing souls are sailing slowly lonely When you are million miles away I love you When we've dropped our lines from this mad play I love you Though the longest battle is not won I love you When the stage is dark, the people gone When my soul no longer takes this form And you hear me singing in the storm
