Sometimes it returns

Like rain that you slept through

That washed off the world

The streets looking brand new

I will not be great

But I'm grateful to get through

The feeling came late

I'm still glad I met you.

The memory hurts

But does me no harm

Your hand in my pocket

To keep us both warm

The poor thing in the road

Its eye still glistening

The cold wet of your nose

The earth from a distance.

See how it shines

See how it shines

See how it shines

See how it shines.

Sometimes there's a thought

Like you choose what you're doing

But it comes to nought

When I look back through it

I remember the view

Street lights in the dark blue

The moment I knew

I'd no choice but to love you.

The speed that you moved

The screech of the cars

The creature still moving

That slowed in your arms

The fear in its eyes

Gone out in an instant

Your tear caught the light

The earth from a distance.

See how it shines

See how it shines

See how it shines

See how it shines.

Darling, there's a part of me

I'm afraid will always be

Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life

The weeds up through the concrete

The traffic picking up speed

All my love and terror

Balanced there between those eyes.

See how it shines

See how it shines.
