A Room on the Edge of Forever

Behind a neon winter door
Shines a quiet light of dust
A capsule of time that's guarded by
Lions and birds and ghosts

They shield the breat, won't forget you
They keep the dreams, won't let go now
Guard my torn back
Walls are voiceless
Will they forget, will they forget
And clouds lie low on the sea

Forgetting underneath the waves
A lead that just drips and that sinks
Into a timeless memory
Of salt and of olden stones

And the runes lie on the pale stones
Like silent signs that can not speak
This is the life and what remained
This is the life and what remained
Those clouds lie heavy on me

And ev'rything just fell apart
And all the birds fell from the sky
When love was left in this cold, unsheltered place
The more you love the more you lose
The gentle sound of a sunday rain
When all was lost in this old, unsheltered place

And ev'rything just fell apar
And all the birds fell from the sky
When love was left in this cold, unsheltered place
The more you love the more you lose
The gentle sound of a sunday rain
You left me in this dark, unsheltered place
The morning grapes by the sea
The crystal wind that cools the wine
The empty glass and the grey eternal rain
