I have lived for long enough
To know just when it all will go
In the blink of an eye, catch a wish up in the sky
Oh my love, if wishing made it so
I have loved for long enough
To calculate a timetable of brokenness
Praise the moon, praise the tide, praise the influence of everything
That offers me this second helping Eucharist
I have lived for long enough
To the love the dark inside of me
A currency of kisses flowing through our aging blisses
Let me hold the candle up so you can see
So blessed be this world of hypocrites
They try so hard to find their place in it
With their hands stretched to the sky reaching for that holy pie
Unaware that all their angels took the last of it
So, so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn
All I know that isn't true
Keeps me grounded on a wire, stretched upon the crooked spires
Of a temple made to doubt the faith in me and you
Yes, I know this to be true
