I fall, in the cutting room Straight to the floor, before the film is through Every day in my head, that field of razor wire Come a little closer, honey And touch the fire
How long do I have here with you? The flowers that once were in bloom Shadows
Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room And the shaking at the gates From here to Timbuktu Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon And it sinks into your soul And you tell it what you knew
How long do I have here with you? How long do I have here with you? How long? The flowers that once were in bloom Are shadows
The mystery of the stars That fell from your eyes Watch it as it burns Like a signal fire That mountain is tall And you know you’ll have to climb Put your arms around me And let’s go for a ride
How long do I have here with you? How long do I have here with you? How long? How long? Before the shadows
