Roy Harper - Hope lyrics

When you look at me From your own century I may seem to be Strange archeology But when the winds blow From this direction You may sense me there In your reflection I think I feel you But I will never know As the swallows leave And the children grow I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew When I caught you there In tomorrow's mirror I thought I felt you Jump out of my skin Throwing oil into My blazing memory Filling empty footsteps I was standing in I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew As the falling rain Of the northern jungle Hanging droplets on the leaves Bombards my brain I hear you Across the room A sea of daffodils spring into bloom You are the mist The frost across my window pane And again She moves her body And her whispers weave And the world spins And tells me that I'll never want to leave As I think of you From this dark century It must always be With generosity That we both may share The hope in hearing That we're not just Spirits disappearing
