Astray

Switch to another dream, to a quiet spiteThink back at some time when there was a fading touchColour me white and paint the vistas greyEveryday there's an electric ray of all too many shimmer-lights[Chorus 1 (x2):]And I can see another timeAnother face, forgotten daysI can see another time -- another time, a setting sunI can see another place -- a rising sun[Chorus 2:]Let's get this to work againTake our souls to the everlasting paradeI never saw it coming this way -- to an endBut now there's nothing left behindLet's all beginI see it slip awayA dream that fades awayDon't let them lead you far and astrayKeepsakes of past years, unravelled by phoneAnd the fog is a traveller through the inner city zonesA million pictures painted on the pavement stonesThat get soft like words through the smoke[Chorus 1 x4][Chorus 2]
