[Verse 1]
I'm lost on an evening tide
A red ocean into a northern sky
And the deep water moves like grey ribbons on a wind
I've always seen the beauty in it
It's a slow change, it's hard to recognize it
And the myths of the modern age always darken the door
Always the door!
[Chorus]
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
[Verse 2]
See I don't wanna let her down
It's a fear in the dark
I want to be around to see my daughter grow older in a world that still has some beauty
It's a siren on a midnight street
When no one's listening, it's hard to compete
For each man's meaning is as large as the world he's living in
The world he's living in!
[Chorus]
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
[Bridge]
We were living in the dark
Yeah, we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a
[Chorus]
Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark
Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream
We were living in a dream
