From the Rafters

I took an early flight: you were right, now I won’t look back I’ve got a dozen reasons to get off the ground The old familiar faces erased from my memory And nothing here replaces the light and the sound In the morning, through the day Sleeping through the pain Hoping that these circumstances are not in vain The elevator stopped on our floor and we all got out We waited for the sound and we pushed through the glass You were counting clouds, while I was stumbling through history The kind of feelings we knew couldn’t ever last In the morning, through the day Sleeping through the pain Hoping that these circumstances are not in vain From the rafters, crawling on the ground The big disasters: falling through the clouds And still you're feeling proud In another day we’ll remain with a memory In another minute we’ll trample it out Falling through the space between you and eternity Waiting for the tide to turn me around In the morning, through the day Sleeping through the pain Hoping that these circumstances are not in vain
