Coasting (Evening Session, Live at Maida Vale Studios, 1994)

The curtain's dropping

Standing the fading lights of my summer

My heart is breaking

As the happiest time of my life is ending

I'm never laughing

Only forgetting

As I lose my memory

Sun is for the last time setting

All the time it takes

My whole life could never last that long

It's a bird's dream

So I must get up

With my shore at the end

Dream on and on

Into inexistence

Now I'm dreaming

She is so precious

The world's too cruel to hold her in its arms

Now I'm leaving

At the front door

I was coasting

Smiling faces say "You're no more"

All the time it takes

My whole life could never last that long

I lost it all

But I must get up

With my shore at the end

Dream on and on

Into inexistence

If you're coasting

If you're sailing

If you're dreaming

We can dream together

If you're coasting

If you're smiling

If you're nowhere

You know no one's looking

All the time it takes

My whole life could never last that long

It's a bird's dream

So I must get up

With my shore at the end

Dream on and on

Into inexistence

I tried so hard

But I could never have her back again

I lost it all

She heard me cry

But she knows so well

That it's a bird's dream

So I must get up

With my shore at the end

Dream on and on

Into inexistence
