COUPLET 1 So here you stand, Still and pale, Decaying flesh In endless sorrow, With a fading light In your silent eyes, A muted light, A dying glow. COUPLET 2 So here I stand, Scared and broken, My lips burning With words unspoken. Breathing still Yet hardly living. The weight of you Is overwhelming. COUPLET 3 What can be said, What can be done, When brothers meet From different sides Of that one night Keeping us apart, That single night We can never take back. COUPLET 4 So here we stand In endless silence, Face to face From distant shores. I’ll never reach Your side of town, You’ll never join My side of night. REFRAIN Slowly you close your dead eyes, Turn back then softly fade away Into the hazy twilight, Leaving my world just the same. REFRAIN Slowly you close your dead eyes, Turn back then softly fade away Into the hazy twilight, Leaving my world just the same.
