Testo The Passing Light Of Day - Pain of Salvation
Testo della canzone The Passing Light Of Day (Pain of Salvation), tratta dall'album In The Passing Light Of Day
Though life has worn us down
Through sun and rain
Your eyes are still the same
Deep blue against all gray
"Love, don't be afraid", they seem to say
I am here for you
All the way
My lover, my best friend
Do you remember us in that first January?
You had just turned nineteen
And I was to be twenty
We fed on politics and poetry
Two children fueled by unbroken dreams
You're watching me slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching the colours turn to gray
Like the passing light of day
The passing light of day
Better burn out, they say
Than fade away
Some candles last an hour
And others one full day
But I, I wanna be like the sun
That steady flame that burns
On and on
And still
We're watching me slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
We're watching the colours turning gray
In the passing light
Lifetimes since we met that January
Two young kids feeding on politics and poetry
Running on dreams
Empires have fallen
Nations have been born
Heroes of our childhood
Dead, forgotten, or gone
But we stand (stand)
All those times that I went away
All those times that I couldn't stay
Wish that I could give them back
Wish that I could give them back
All those times that I fell on you
All those times that I turned on you
Wish that I could take 'em back
Wish that I could take 'em back
'Cause all those times led to here today
All those times still hurt today
All those moments returned today
All those times of another day
You're watching this slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching your colours turning gray
Like the passing light of day
I need something new
If I could stare down you
Would it feel the same?
I need something new
To feel whole again
(If I only could)
I will see this
I need something new
Take me home again
(If I only could)
All those people who worried us
All those things that were hurting us
None of that can reach me now
None of that can reach me now
All the darkness we thought about
All those things that we fought about
None of that can touch me now
None of that can touch me now
'Cause all that matters is here today
All the thoughts that I think today
Every word that we say today
Every second, another day
We're all burning out, fading away
Like the passing light of day
We're all watching the colours turning gray
In the passing light of day
We may wish we could run, just walk away
From this passing light of day
But at some point we need to stop and say
"It's okay, it's okay"
"My love, don't be afraid", I hear you say
"I'll be here for you all the way"
And I just wish that I could smile and say
"Baby, hey, I'm in too much pain to feel afraid"
My lover, my best friend
Lover, best friend
I'm watching it slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching the colours turning gray
In the passing light of day
And although I wish that I could stay
It somehow strangely feels okay
It is what it is, I'll find my way
Through this passing light
