| Slipping sideways, silver stars collide
|
| And fade away just like our love that died
|
| And there is nowhere in this universe to hide
|
| From you tonight
|
| I’ve wrestled with angels all my life
|
| It’s always the haloes and the wings
|
| That keep you blind
|
| And if I’d fought with all the strength I held inside
|
| I wouldn’t be out here
|
| Alone tonight
|
| I wouldn’t be standing alone tonight
|
| Alone tonight, just like the western star I’m sinking
|
| The angels curse me blind with
|
| Straight and crooked thinking
|
| I’ve been crossing out the words I left unsaid
|
| From the epilogue left lying in my head
|
| Where there is poetry and tragedy unread
|
| Until tonight
|
| There’s no other angel quite like you
|
| They broke the mould, a thousand pieces icy blue
|
| And though I tried to realign them — like I do
|
| You went your own way
|
| And I did too
|
| So here I am
|
| Alone tonight, just like the western star I’m sinking
|
| The angels curse me blind with
|
| Straight and crooked thinking |
