| Lyrics |
| So this is permanence - love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side Grey cloud hangs over me - marks every move Deep in the memory of what once was love Oh how I realised how I wanted time Put into perspective - tried so hard to find Just for one moment I thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded - I watched it slip away [or on the Preston live album: Looked beyond the day in hand - I saw it slip away] This is the second verse on the Bains Douches live album: Oh how I realised how I wanted time Put into perspective - knew I had to find Just for one moment I thought I heard him call Looked into the day in hand - there's no-one there at all Excessive flashpoints - beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out - see what we can find A valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realised the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment I heard someone call Looked beyond the day in hand - there's nothing there at all This is the fourth verse on the Preston live album: Oh how I realised how I wasted time Looked beyond the day in hand to see what, what I find Just for one moment I thought I had my way Now the reason's ceased for life - I saw it fade away This is the fourth verse on the Bains Douches live album: Oh how I realised how I hated time Put into perspective - thoughts I had to find Just for one moment I heard somebody call Looked into the day in hand - there's no-one there at all Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy - this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late [or on the Bains Douches live album: Got to find my destiny before it slides away] |
