[Intro]

The days

Passing days

[Verse 1]

I see the steeple

And trace to the spire

And the sunset

Deep in regret

Phoenix in final fire

[Verse 2]

And the time stops

Rush hour traffic slows

And my heart starts

Beating this dark

Through old flesh and cold bone

[Chorus 1]

And I long to be carried on

Just once to be lifted strong

Out of the loneliness

And the emptiness

Of the days

The days

Passing days

Days

[Verse 3]

I remember I had your love once

Seized my body whole

And in our first dance

I thought by chance

God had matched my soul

But time brought its travelling

Its distance and solitude

And in that travelling

My self damaging

I took my love far, far from you

[Chorus 2]

But don't you

Long to be carried on

Once more I could lift you strong

Out of the loneliness

And the emptiness

Of the days

Passing days

Passing days

Days

[Chorus 3]

Tell me

Have we gone too far?

Or did we get too close?

You've no father

I've no son

But when we come ghost

I promise I will meet you

I will meet you

At the end of the days

The days

Passing days

[Outro]

Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
