Out here at the edge of town I saw her,
Alone on the water,
I watched from the ridge
As the trains passed under,
My eyes full of wonder.
Here I could see lakes of fire,
As she called to me.
And I could see
Beyond the ordinary
Lost to me, in every fading memory.
Here under the bridge,
Her eyes looked younger,
An absence of color.
The sound of her voice,
Lost in thunder,
My heart full of hunger.
Here I could see lakes of fire,
As she whispered to me.
Beyond the sea
Beyond the ordinary
Lost to me, in every fading memory.
Out into the dark I stared,
Out here at the edge of the world,
I made a promise to never grow up,
And forget all the days here,
When I was so young.
When I could see,
Beyond the ordinary,
Lost to me...
And I could see
Beyond the ordinary
Lost to me, in every fading memory.
