lyrics

Between Air And Wing - Steve Merlin (c)2008/2013

I’ve been seeing an angel
She came into my life for a while
There was an hour-glass full of sparkling things
Entirely ours for a while
Time was another dimension
Too non-existent to mention

We walked across the universe
We had apple pies in the clouds
There were waterfalls, stars, a thousand things
In that little room in my house
It was a story ever expanding
There were so many happy endings

Then in the brightest blue of her eyes
I saw a burning secret
She whispered ‘Tell me, what’s the time’
I said: ‘I don’t know where they keep it!’

Then a voice cried out from within her
The hour-glass cracked into splinters
Time slipped away every minute
And everything vanished within it

And she just vanished out of my life
Back to her garden of angels
And I just have to get on with my life
How do you forget an angel?
An angel, an angel, an angel
And what should I do when I meet her down town?

Whereto now with my love
I’ve just no use for this love
I’ve just too much of this love
To keep focus
I stroll around in this town
Keep my eyes to the ground
But there is no-one in this town
To notice

I’m torn
Between my head and my phone
I’ve got to leave her alone
I’ve got to leave her alone
She’s torn
Between her love and her home
Between the dream and the known
Between the dog and the bone

I know
I know I know I know
We took a ride on a jet boat
And this was going to happen
The waves short-circuited the dashboard
And I feel cold
And weightless in a wide, wide ocean

If I’d be asleep and I dreamed, could I see her?
Cause when I’m awake I just stay here and hide myself
She’s lightyears away but it seems, she’s so near to me
The universe was bent in a minute, and put on a shelf

I’m torn
Between my head and my phone
I’ve got to leave her alone
I’ve got to leave her alone
She’s torn
Between her love and her home
Between the dream and the known
Between the dog and the bone

Torn, between the dog and the bone
Between the dog and the bone, between the dog and the bone
Torn, between the waves and the boat
Between the wheel and the road, between the dream and the known

Between the ash and the heel, between the chrome and the steel
Between the yang and the yin, between the air and the wing
Between madness and love, between madness and love
Between madness and love, between madness and love
Between madness and love, between madness and love
Between madness and love
Love
