Lyrics The Archway of Tears - Magnum

The Archway of Tears

They laughed loudly
Had no cares
Their hands dirty
Said no prayers
Dark streets hide the sunrise
All things come to pass and
No smile from her blue eyes
Her soul comes unfastened
Oh don’t be afraid of the truth
Oh don’t be afraid
There’s no excuse
Long time in coming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?
She’s seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time in coming
Run through the years
Stained glass broken
Ruby and blue
The shrine’s empty
No taboo
She’s not seen the ocean
Night time, fiery stacks burn
No nails on her fingers
She vows not to return
Yeah she finds it hard to believe
She’s so afraid
We all get deceived
Long time in coming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?
She’s seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time in coming
Run through the years
Work a lifetime maybe
Get nowhere
It’s a fine line maybe
To get there
Long time in coming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?
She’s seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time in coming
Run through the years
Long time in coming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?
She’s seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time in coming
Run through the years
