Lyrics for Song: Noah's Dove
Lyrics for Album: Trilogy [2005]
You must be leaving,
You win a prize for that,
for telling lies like that,
so well that I believed it,
And never felt cheated.
You were the chosen one,
the pure eyes of Noah's dove.
Choir boys and angels
stole your lips and your halo.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
you only have time and your love of danger,
to it your no stranger.
In that August breeze
of those forgotten trees,
your time was set for leaving,
come a colder season.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
it's never too late
for a chance to seize some
final breath of freedom.
Very, so very wise.
Don't reveal it.
I'm tired, tired of knowing
where it is you're going.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
you only have time and your love of danger,
to it you're no stranger.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
it's never too late for a chance to seize
some final breath of freedom.
